Don't worry, I'll still come to the web site sometimes to loads the ads :) One thing I just realized, for those who liked the email format, and use MS Outlook 2007, you can subscribe to the blog via RSS feed and postings will show up as messages in Outlook 2007 under the RSS Feeds tree.

They handle all the subscription stuff, can put ads in for you, all that. Just a thought.

Using an RSS reader like Firefox "live bookmarks" I can now choose exactly which articles are of interest to me and read just those, in a random-access manner to boot. The content of the newsletter has always been great (I've been a subscriber for several years) and now that I'm able to home in on exactly the articles that interest me the most, it's the best of all worlds. Thanks Scot for working to achieve this, and I'm glad it's working out to be easier for you as well...sounds like a win-win all around.

WordPress is one of the most popular, if not the most popular, blog applications available. So it's not like this is unusual. I didn't notice it, though, and it's a good point to make.

As stated by mrobert, however, I needed to get out of my comfort zone. When the LangaList merged with Windows Secrets, I stopped doing this with their newsletter, and you've pushed me over a needed edge to stop doing that, period, with any newsletter than maintains online archives. After all, if your computer's crashed, your going to have to access it from another computer, anyway, and online access and search is faster than recopying to your other computer (you do have one, don't youu?) from your USB backup drive and then searching for what you want. Per my username, I will probably be switching to Mac after the holiday activites give me time for something else and, if I do, yours will probably be the only newsletter I'll be keeping out of my current bunch, anyway, since I'll probably Bootcamp to XP rather than Vista, and the Windows newsletters will be feeding me less info re XP as it recedes further into the past.

Thanks! The blog format works great for me; I've just spent the last few hours off-and-on reading posts. I'd just like to make one suggestion/request: I would like to see the posting-date somewhere near the beginning of each entry. p.s. Your EIC promotion is no less than you deserve, IMHO.

I enjoy change as it helps everyone challenge their comfort zone. As sekirt says it's having access to your excellent research and analysis that's key here.
