You Can Now Choose Which Architekwiki Blogs To Receive

9/30/2015

MailChimp is my new tool for emailing the blogs to subscribers. I decided to make use of a MailChimp feature that allows a subscriber to choose which Groups to belong to. I've created a Group for each of the three blogs that are part of Architekwiki. You are probably most familiar with WIKI, since it is the home page. DETAILS has a number of articles that have been popular. I don't add new articles as frequently as I once did, but it is growing.

Today I added my Personal Blog, this blog, back to the navigation menu. There was a hiatus on articles appearing here while I was involved with the Corbu Project.

So there are three blogs that you can follow. When you subscribe, there are check boxes to indicate which blogs you are interested in. Once subscribed, you can change this through a preference link in the footer of each email.

MailChimp is awfully easy to use. We will see if I was able to screw it up anyway.

Today I added Boomerang to my Gmail accounts.
Should have done it six months ago.
If you use Gmail or Google Apps, add the Boomerang App or extension to your Chrome browser for added functionality with your email account.

2) Get a SEND LATER button for scheduling when to send an email.
3) Get an alert if you don’t get a reply to your email.
4) Get Read receipts.
