Stuart Perrin's Announcements, Happy Blogging!


Dear Friend,

Reading and Posting to Stuart Perrin's Announcements is easy! You will find it to be as easy as using email, but more convenient and versatile.

A key difference is a permanent web page is being updated right on Stuart's website. But this is no ordinary page it is also an rss feed. That means email subscribers can get a copy of the message when it's posted and they are able to subscribe to the page in a news reader. (The displayed image shows my Outlook reading the Who Am I news feed on my computer. Notice it looks exactly like an email inbox).

Please see the Announcement page itself for a full list of options and how to subscribe via email.

In addition to updates of postings, I just sent you a Guest Author invitation so you can even post your own message to the blog. Press on the link in the invitation to register yourself. This will confirm your identity and complete the registration process for you.


At this point you will now be able to publish a message to Stuart's announcement news in one of two ways:

1.) By sending your message as an email to the email address below: [spaces added for security]:

[ i t s i m m e d i a t e . w h 0 a m 1 n 3 w s @ b l o g g e r . c o m ].

2.) By logging in to blogger.com with your email address and password and pressing New Post from your Dashboard.

Whenever a posting is published it goes to the top of the news page and all the email subscribers are sent a copy too. People subscribe easily from the page and control their own settings.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

If you see your name then, congratulations. You also can post a message to the blog by using the hidden form used to send this message found here [spaces added for security]:

[h t t p : / / w w w . s t u a r t p e r r i n . c o m / a n n o u n c e . p h p ]


This sends a message to everyone on the old list, 62 people and 1 blog, that's why the message results in a new posting. It's fun!

Contact me if you're curious about any of this stuff or if you need any help.

Happy Blogging!

And, of course, lots of love,

Derek

RE: Blog and Blurb

Dearest Kris,

Posting to the Blog is unbelievably easy! You will find it to be as easy as sending an email. The only difference is a permanent web page is being updated and any subscribers to the news page are getting their copy of your message. As a case in point, this email is an example. Read on!

Previously, I sent you a Guest Author invitation for this to the other email address @verizon.net. So now I’m resending it to @easystreet.com. Press on the link in the invitation to register yourself. This will confirm your identity and complete the registration process for you.

At this point you will be able to publish to Stuart’s announcement news in one of two ways:

  1. By sending your message as an email to itsimmediate.whoami@blogger.com (like I just did, for example).
  2. By logging in to blogger.com with your email address and password and pressing New Post from the Dashboard.

Whenever a posting is published it goes to the top of the news page and all the email subscribers are sent a copy too. It’s so simple and easy and a beautiful result. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any problem, I want to help. I set it up for all of us to stay connected with each other and to learn and share news about The Meditation.

Love, Derek
