Webmasterworld weekly

2nd issue

[limbo]

Brett,

Good job fella :)

This will serve to round up not only the important WebmasterWorld
homepage listed threads, but also as a brief analysis of the weeks
news cycle.

I have been looking for something like this for ages. With so many posts an hour it's a real slog to keep up. This'll keep my reading focused.

Many thanks

Limbo

I second that, I really enjoyed the newsletter. Keep up the great work, Brett!

Can someone sticky me a copy - mine never arrived in my inbox.

[Brett_Tabke]

Thanks.

Sorry Phrasology - Spam filters are very tough to work around. We've studied and studied...

I have tried to subscribe but to no avail. I keep getting this:

What is the problem?

It seemed to me that the posts listed in the newsletter were the same as on the homepage? I didn't actually compare the 2, just seemed like it...

[Brett_Tabke]

What email program are you using Str0ud?

[PhraSEOlogy]

Thanks for the sticky guys. I have a copy now.

Brett, I dont think it was a spam filter problem. I think it was the lack of a reply string in the response I sent to the opt-in email.

Resubmitted and got the confirmation notice this time.

[Str0ud]

I'm using Outlook/Exchange 5.5

[Woz]

Hrmph! I never got one either.

I agree, and the weekly is a great start. Right now, it does seem to be concentrating on the homepage headlines.

For those of us who are frequent board users, I'd like to see the newsletter eventually dig a little deeper. This is a tricky area, I know, because you also want users to dig a little deeper... not just get it handed to them on a platter... and there are gems everywhere. Perhaps a Supporter's version.

[Leosghost]

Me too ..I got an auto subscribe email from here ..signed up ..have outlook ..no spam filter at all ..never got squat ..Brett?

[anallawalla]

No newsletter here either. Have subscribed again. Sent confirmation email back both times.

[rhshinn]

Brett, I get the same reply as Str0ud. I've tried before with Pine on a Unix box and tried again just a couple of minutes ago with SquirrelMail.

Maybe an RSS feed of the newsletter would help sidestep some of these problems?

[Robert Charlton]

I signed up the first day the sign-up box was up and have gotten one issue. How many have actually been sent out?

This might be helpful info to us all, just in case we're wondering about newsletters that maybe aren't yet going out on a regular basis.

[Brett_Tabke]

You guys that are getting the error - could you send me a blank'ish email (so I can see the headers). I will then forward it to the email software vendor.

Thanks

I just received "WebmasterWorld Weekly 3.4 August 6, 2004," and this one is superb! It goes beyond the front page headlines and points me to some important material I would have missed. Thanks to Brett and all involved.

It gets through Earthlink's filters (set at medium level) just fine, though my own personal filters then flag it as spam... but I can customize those as long as the "from" line doesn't vary from issue to issue.

[vkaryl]

I've received two, one a couple of weeks back, the other today....

[Brett_Tabke]

Thanks - feel free to pass onward to a friend :-)

[vkaryl]

Reading my mind, Brett? Was going to ask that very thing! I have a good net friend in Houston who I think would be interested, and once his situation settles out a bit he might like becoming a member here.

Thanks!

Brett-

Nice job with the newest issue. As said, it does go beyond the home page headlines, which is key IMO. I like to see news that I can't already read on the homepage. Very good.
