Mailing list launched

Whoo Hoo! I finally found & installed a mailing list script. Sometime this week I'll email all directory members with the sign-up link.

In the coming months, think January, there'll be lots & lots going on here. At this time, the mailing list is only for members of the fatfighterblogs.com directory. It is an opt-in mailing list that is sent out once a month. In it members will find out about upcoming events, promotions, & sneak peeks on site news before the general public hears about it.

To our non-weight-blog-having-visitors & lurkers, we luvs ya, truly. Don't feel slighted, you will be privy to the same info, just a few weeks later. Membership has it's privleges round here lol so if you have a weight loss blog and haven't joined the directory yet, what are you waiting for? Scoot!

Feed me

I added feeds to the sidebar. Currently feeding:

MSN, Bloglines, Feedster, Pluck, Newsgator and Yahoo.

If there is a newsreader you use and I haven't listed it, let me know, I'll add it for ya. If the feed link you try doesn't work, let me know that too.

Buttons changeup

This is what trial and error week is all about, I made two changes to the buttons page after it was pointed out there was a slight technical glitch.

1) I took away the "copy to highlight" code function. It doesn't work well on all browsers.

2) I moved the buttons to it's own page.

The main purpose of extra buttons is to give alternates choices to the default directory button but today I found that by having them "exposed" so soon, people may go to use them first. Then when they join the directory (nudge nudge) they may wonder what's the deal with all the button choices and what should link to what and which link goes where.

The link to the button page is now included in the approval email, and I reworded the Fat Fighting Movement page to basically say: grab the button after joining the directory.

Hopefully, this way, it's a bit clearer and if it's not, someone will let me know :)
