New Haven Camera Club Blog goes LIVE!!!

Hello! Welcome!

As you are well aware by your often full mailboxes I have been managing the New haven Camera Club E-list since ~2001. There is so much photography information out there that this has been a fantastic way to distribute information to everyone.

I have over 150 people on my photo e-list and I have gotten such good feedback from all of you that receive these emails.In the spirit of advancement I have decided to take this e-list to the next level and turn it into a PhotoBlog http://nhccphotoblog.blogspot.com/

Please check it out!!!

I have 9 posts up so far.

Please put a comment on the Photo Blog and let me know what you think.

I think that it will be superior to the elist for several reasons:

(1) You will only receive one email per day from the Blog (after you subscribe) and only when it is updated. No updates, no emails. 10 posts in one day, one email.

(2) I can even post to the Blog when I am on vacation

(3) all of the posts will be archived creating a reference for future use

(4) you can search the blog to find things (like where was that daffodil trip)

(5) anything that is emailed to me can be copied and pasted to the Blog (things for sale, field trips, photo ops, seminars, photo tips, etc. etc. etc.)

(6) you can leave comments (they will be moderated just to make sure that we don't get viagra ads, etc. posted)

(7) there is an icon at the bottom of each post which enables you to email the post to friends, etc.

There is a box in the upper left corner, enter your email address in the box, verify and then you will be subscribed! Easy! Your emails will arrive once a day only when the Photo Blog has been updated.

Good Idea Lisa. This is another good way to exchange and ask for photography information.

Here is my first try at a blog, Lisa. Thanks for setting it up. I'll probably be brave enough to make a comment or ask a question once I see how this actually works.

As a novice at blogging, this is my third try to get through--probably not typing the jumbled letters correctly. However, I am looking forward to reading comments, questions, and responses from colleagues, and in time may be brave enough to contribute. Thanks, Lisa, for setting this up.

Hi Lisa,

I think this is a great idea! Only have to type everything once, can exchange photo info and more.
