the reply below should have gone to the whole list, instead of just allison.
also, chris corrigan... if we don't go for the automatic forwarding to the oslist, maybe something about allison''s solution should go into the oslist FAQ doc? maybe time to broadcast that one again? mh On 1/30/07, Michael Herman <mich...@michaelherman.com> wrote:
great! thanks allison! ...i thought that is how it was going to work. i've used feedreaders, but never funnelled that into my email bin. i was going to set one up to forward to the oslist. if many folks want that, i can still do it, or we can leave it to passion bounded by responsibility. i'll cross it off my list for now, unless many ask for the automatic option here. i'm going to set it up for myself, so it will be only about three clicks in my gmail acct to automatically forward to the list. michaelh On 1/30/07, Allison Hewlitt <ahewl...@bellanet.org> wrote: > > Hi Michael, All > > I don't also know about creating an email broadcast of blog posts but > thought that it would be worth mentioning that individually anyone can > subscribe to the blog feed so that new entries are sent via email. > > I have a free account with feedblitz (www.feedblitz.com) which I use to > monitor a number of blogs that are of interest to me.
