blog a thon


My sister send me some sites that participated in the blog-a-thon

"Bloggerlist is a list of all the

participants. Then there's davezilla

Dad liked this one

This is the one that did website reviews"

Of course she participated also...

one more thing.. to make this process more streamlined (i.e. easier for me) I'm considering moving to html mail. I'd like to know if this will make anyone's life hell....

Just don't include big honkin graphics. In fact, it would be great if you didn't include any at all. Nothing I hate more than clicking on an innocuous looking email in my inbox and having to wait 5-10 seconds for the graphics to load... ugh. But I trust you... I say go for it, if it makes your life easier.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

By the way, there are ways of doing both text and html email...

I use Pine, so my mail client doesn't render HTML. If you have lots of formatting and a table based layout I'll probably unsub. If you're just inserting tags and links, I'll probably just grumble a bit and deal with it.

In short, I don't like the idea, but it wouldn't keep me from reading Gleanings.

a much better solution, if you ask me. because i hate html mail with a fiery passion that burns like a thousand suns.

I'd vote for it, if only because Gleanings could be more visually interesting in HTML.

I suspected most folks would not want it; I'll keep trying to find a solution that works with my new living-with-husband status (i.e. less idle time) and my surfoholic ways.

But I do accept that I'm in the minority of people who do not use a GUI email client.

you can have people pick either the html version or the plain text, and it automatically converts from html to text for you text prefering types withouth having to write two versions of your newsletter. I'll install if for you if you like. Least I can do for all the things I've learned on this list and site.
