Title: Selby Appearance in October
Post by: MsCriseyde on July 08, 2005, 05:43:41 AM
DavidSelby.com (http://www.davidselby.com), the official David Selby site, is reporting that David will appear at the West Virginia Book Festival in Charleston in October to read from a forthcoming book.

Also wanted to mention that the official site has been posting site update information via RSS feed for some time. If you're into the whole blogging thing, then you know what this is, and you probably already know several methods for subscribing to site updates.

Now the Welcome page also includes a link to the RSSfwd service, which allows you to receive site update information via email. RSSfwd checks the site for updates every 2 hours and will send you an email message if new material has been added. The service is not without its flaws, but, if it works with your email service, it's a nice way to stay up to date.

RSSfwd proved to be a pain in the butt because of AOL's treatment of its messages as spam. DavidSelby.com (http://www.davidselby.com) has now been updated to include links to several services that allow users to receive XML update notices along with a different XML-to-email service, Bloglet, whose messages seem to fare better at not being treated as spam.

If you successfully subscribed to RSSfwd updates, you'll continue to receive them. If you had problems, you may want to try out the new Bloglet subscription box. If that still doesn't work, you can bookmark and periodically check the Welcome page of the site for updates.

Excellent array of options.  I find Live Bookmarks to be the most convenient.  Thanks for letting us know what's available!

Bloglet appears to have died. It hasn't sent out updates since early this month.

DavidSelby.com is recommending that Bloglet subscribers switch to FeedBlitz. You can do that through the Welcome page of DavidSelby.com (http://www.davidselby.com), or you can click here (http://www.feedblitz.com/feedblitz.exe?Sub=5772) to go directly to the FeedBlitz subscription page for the feed.
