Although I believe I have subscribed to the Painter Canvas Newsletter, there seems to be an issue of actually receiving it or being notified of new issue availability. Thankfully the nice people at Corel use a sequential url naming convention when they publish subsequent issues each month.

Thankfully too, there are applications available to check url’s for changes/updates in page content, and notify the user of any change found. It was then a simple matter of combining the two, so that I will (assuming the url naming convention remains the same) be notified when a new issue is published, independently of any notification from Corel.

The application I use for this on the Mac platform is Changes Meter. There are probably numerous similar applications on the PC platform too, such as OutPosted.

At time of writing, the current Painter Canvas issue is July 2007. The following is a list of urls (hopefully) for forthcoming issues in 2007, which may be entered into the monitoring application’s url roster;

Update;

Commencing the September issue, it looks like the above method is no longer going to work, so I will have to rely on links posted around the Painter community. The method is still very useful for monitoring many other sites of interest though.
