They misspelled Gucci but still sounds cool…

I saw the Gucci move. I thought Lady Gaga was a totally miscast as you.

There’s a lot to get out of this forum but if you do still follow the blog, I’m almost done with my own email newsletter feature. This is my attempt to bring back an email sent to subscribers every time there is a new post. I’m looking for a small group of “early adopters” that can sign up and just report any issues they see in a private chat we’ll have.

Even if you aren’t interested, I would appreciate the help. Just signing up for the newsletter and unsubscribing helps as I’d like to make sure the whole flow of the app works with some people.

What say you?

  • I’ll help!
  • Not interested.
  • I like polls.

I am not exactly sure that I follow what you are trying to do. I’d be glad to talk to you about it if you want to do that.

When a new post hits the blog, you’ll get an email. I used to have this in place years ago and am bringing it back.

Since I built it myself, I need to test it.

I didn’t get a chance to vote “I’ll help!”

But I’d like to help.

I can confirm that the RSS feed still works and I’m too old to understand why that medium has mostly been replaced by email newsletters!

I was hoping Leo could figure out a way to integrate with my NextDoor feed. I can attest that their email functionality works…

Maybe in a future update. :grimacing:

Don’t even get me started on Nextdoor.

I’d rather use Reddit than Nextdoor, and I dislike Reddit intensely.

Alright. After some testing with a small group, the blog’s newsletter is ready to go. For those that want the blog content in their inbox, take a look.

Happy Birthday!!! The Community is now 8-years-old. How are you celebrating? :partying_face:

I actually completely forgot about it, was out with regulars on the photo walk yesterday, and didn’t even mention it. (thank you for yearly reminders) Anyway, no reflective thoughts from me right now. The discussions have been going pretty well, I think, and the photos you all contribute really turn this into a great space. Thanks for being here!

This is also my one yearly ask for any contributions. If you feel like giving back and supporting, I’ve now set up a way to buy me a coffee, which you can do at the link below. Venmo and paypal are still a thing as well.

Apparently today is my 8 year anniversary of joining this site. You’re all very lucky I did :joy:

Thanks Leo for having this place and keeping it awesome!

Strangely enough, I didn’t get a notice. :neutral_face:

I’m a little slow. Mine is later this month I believe.

FYI. Tomorrow, Sunday, I plan to do some tinkering with the site. It may go down for some time but if it works well, it should only be for a few minutes. If it goes badly, well, it’ll be longer than that.
