There will be some light blogging here through the end of the year. We are headed out for our first vacation in years next week, then will be spending some time with family. I will be blogging before we leave and will try to get some posts written to trickle out while I’m gone.
I hope everyone has a happy and relaxed holiday season. I am looking forward to resting, recharging and returning ready to take on 2009.
Blogging was light the last few weeks as I coped with the holidays, visitors and a very nasty cold. I have a backlog of posts I want to write over the next few weeks, including a description of stale list syndrome, information about pitfalls of collecting email addresses at the point of sale, and how to improve your IP reputation.
As I did in 2007, I’ll also keep updating readers to change in Email Standards, continue to update everyone about changes at individual ISPs and comment on the state of the email industry.
As you can see we have updated the blog theme. This is a custom theme based on the WordPress K2 theme. The overall look is much lighter and fits in better with our main website.
As part of the change I have also re-categorized all the previous posts into 4 categories:
I’m feeing a bit disconnected today. See, my hard drive failed last night and my laptop would not boot. Thanks to the local Apple store Genius bar and Apple Care my current laptop is in getting repaired. Unfortunately, that means I am stuck on my old machine without any of my RSS feeds or bookmarks and a mail client that has taken all day to sync with my IMAP server.
Tomorrow will be better.
