Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ

Doctor Who Adventures magazine launched its new website this week, giving young Doctor Who fans another opportunity to keep up to date with the very latest news from the Time Lord.

The website will be aimed at the magazine's 6 – 12 year old fans and will include: a blog from Doctor Who Adventures magazine team; Doctor Who wallpapers and 'buddy' icons to download; a competition page; an online poll asking for readers' opinions; details of current issue of Doctor Who Adventures magazine; and reader letters.

Moray Laing, Editor of Doctor Who Adventures says: "The launch of dwamag.com is fantastic for the magazine. Readers can now have constant interaction with us and keep up to date with all the latest monster news!"

The launch of the website follows the re-launch of the magazine on 1 April 2010.

The website was designed by Monoroot and has been built by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide's web team. The Doctor Who Adventures editorial team will update the site daily while the series is on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and once a week when the series is off air.
