ADMIN: Note to LiveJournal Readers

LiveJournal stopped updating the RSS feed from http://nescifievents.org/ for a while; the problem has been fixed, but LJ doesn’t seem to have picked up the posts you missed. You’ll need to visit the main website if you want to see everything.

ADMIN: Hey, It’s Been a Year Already!

Actually, it’s been slightly more than a year — the first post for this blog went up on September 16th, 2008. Thanks for reading!

ADMIN: Off to WorldCon!

I’m headed to Montreal for WorldCon starting tomorrow! I’ll be checking email, but I may not post to the blog for a few days. Bye!

ADMIN: RSS Feed Change

The Feedburner service that I use to administer RSS feeds and the email subscription feature is merging with Google, and I have to move the account for New England Science Fiction and Fantasy Events to the new service. Google promises that all will go smoothly with this transition. (Yeah…) I figured I’d give everyone notice now before I throw the switch, just in case something happens. You can always come back to http://nescifievents.org/ to get the links again if needed.

Admin: LiveJournal Feed Now Available!

If you’d like to subscribe to the RSS feed via LiveJournal, that option is now available. Add http://syndicated.livejournal.com/nescifievents to your friends list.

Administrative Stuff: Signing Up for Feeds and Updates

Hello to the few of you who actually know about this blog! I wanted to let you know that I’ve linked the blog’s feeds up to FeedBurner, which does two things: one, it lets me track how many people have subscribed to the blog via RSS, and two, it lets me offer a free email subscription service to people who prefer email to RSS.

If you sign up for the email service, you will receive one email a day with all of the day’s posts in it. If the blog doesn’t get updated, you will not receive an email. I will be able to see the email addresses of those who sign up for the email feed; I promise not to use them for spam or other nefarious purposes.

If you have already subscribed to the RSS feed, I am not sure if the switch to FeedBurner will affect you in any way. Please let me know if you encounter any problems, and if you do, my apologies, but better to get the software tinkering over with now before the readership expands (wouldn’t it be lovely to have lots of readers to piss off?).

Thanks to Kevin (the Ninja Podcaster) for all of his great technical suggestions! I encourage you all to listen to his podcasts.
