What's In An Email? I Am Changing Subscription Providers

0 Shares

Many of you receive a RSS or subscription feed delivered right to your inbox. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for subscribing. Recently, however, I have noticed Feedblitz the current provider pushing unwanted advertisements (like for a service called WebJay Yahoo!) through my subscription list. While I have valued Feedblitz's help in the past in coordinating my subscription list, I am not thrilled about these new advertisements creeping up on my subscribers or me. Frankly, I am pretty annoyed by them and I suspect you are too. So, starting today, I am moving the subscription service to Feedburner (no guarantees they won't push advertising either).

If you would please re-subscribe, I would be grateful and of course honored. You will notice a new subscription box on the website (it has a thin white line around it). I am also going to try and import all my subscribers over to the new service but I am not entirely sure how successful that will. There may be limitations with the new service, technical issues and other bugaboos. I ask for your patience during this transition time. [Update: Does not look like I can import your email addresses, so please re-subscribe … I am terribly sorry about the inconvenience!]

If any of you knows of a service that works well with blogs such as this one, please let me know. I am all ears.

In 2008, I expect to have some design and layout changes made so that the site loads more quickly, showcases more great photography from around the world and provides some consistency in how external links to your favorite photographers or other resources are displayed. There is room for a lot of improvement. It's about setting priorities and finding the right amount of time to get it all done.

To more illuminating posts in 2008. See you then!
