You can keep up with news bulletins from this site by subscribing to the site news feed. Why I'm using a newsfeed. News items/updates
Why I'm using a newsfeedThe newsfeed replaces the previous method of disseminating news and updates, which was to send emails to those who signed up for email notifications on this site. Once the number of emails climbed into the hundreds it was increasingly cumbersome and time-consuming to maintain, with each bulletin generating tens of 'bounces' from invalid email addresses. It also added yet more mail to subscriber's bulging inboxes, in addition to all the spam they receive. RSS syndication is a much more flexible and user-friendly method of keeping up with site news, without all the tedium of visiting the site regularly or receiving emails, and is sparing of bandwidth. Pioneered by (we)blog authors, RSS feeds have become commonplace. For more information on RSS, click on the link below to a FAQ I've written for the EUROCALL site, which I also manage. A RSS FAQ |
