So, over the past year I have been picking up a few issues of Dragon and Dungeon. Right now they all sit in a stack. I am sure there are better ways to organize them. Does anyone have suggestions on how they do it? |

1) build a library in your house
2) make 5 sections with seven angled shelves on each section with a 1 inch lip
3) bag/board them in magazine sized bags
4) make sure shelves not in direct sunlight
5) then keep adding them to your shelves as WotC keeps putting them out monthly for it's dedicated fanbase
I did all of the above except #5, and I have a shelf and a half left |

external hard drive  oh, you meant before the change to DDI. The ones I do still have are boxed and in numerical order. |

Same as Wooly and Kuje. Especially the earliest issues I have -- some of which are in a severe state of disrepair because they were second [and sometimes third-] hand issues. |

Another 'bag' option, if you're looking at long term storage (i.e. not going to keep going to them to look stuff up), check into a 'food-saver' type of vacuum device. Many have 'bags on a roll' that can be cut and sealed to a chosen size and it keeps you books air-tight. |

Well, magazine-sized ones, yeah. 
At first, I was buying bags individually, as I needed them or as money permitted, from my local comic/game store. Then I found some online site to buy them. More recently, I've found another good provider. I've purchased from them two or three times, and I quite like them.

When I still had those magazines, they were bagged, boarded, shelved, and arranged in numeric order. |

Alphabetically by editor/author.
The best method would probably be to get some of those 'media boxes' like the libraries use to hold back issues of magazines, grouped by years. |
