A little experiment…
Maeva (my foster apprentice*) and I were talking about getting and staying motivated, on this long hard path to getting armored and authorized. Well, one of the things that we decided was it would be cool if we could get an email when one of us posts to our blogs. Caitlin and I had been talking about just that--- and if I can figure out how to use my news reader at work, I would go with RSS (that way, anyone who wanted to keep up with us could “subscribe” to our blogs, but I can’t figure out how to do that either….).
Anyway, since I own www.artisansrow.org and actually use only about 1% of the features to host the Artisan’s Row website, I thought I would give this a whirl. What I did was set up a mailing list on the artisansrow.org domain. I am setting my blog to that address. In theory, when I post this message, an email will go to that address, which will get forwarded to those of us who want to know about such posts. We will have to see if it works. (Note: some of the folks got the email, but the formatting was winky. I didn't get the mail at all...)
If it does work, I will set up a subscribe email address, so that any of our friends who want to can also subscribe. Sound like a plan??
* Maeva is Mistress Caitlin of Enniskillen’s apprentice, who I will be fostering once Caitlin moves to Atlantia. Boo hoo.)
