Two ways to post and view

There are two ways to post to the Ivy Project bloglist, which incorporates the functionality of a blog and a listserv together in one:

On the web:
http://projectivy.blogspot.com/

Or via email
projectivy-owner@googlegroups.com

You will receive another email shortly inviting you to sign up for the blog. The advantage to using email, however, is that one must log in to post directly on the blog. For posting by email, please remember...

Two important rules:

1) Most email programs, when you hit "reply" include in full the message to which you are replying. Please delete that text. Otherwise it will be posted on the blog, which will quickly become unreadable, and resent to everyone in the group.

2) Also, please remove the "Re: [Project Ivy] from the subject line of your email, as that will become the title of your blog post. If it's easier, we can drop the [Project Ivy], but I figured it would be helpful to identify group emails.

You can send images. Just attach them to your email, and they will be posted on the blog and emailed to the group over the list.

If you use a free email service which places texts ads at the bottom of your messages, those ads will be posted to the blog, and emailed to the group. This is presently unavoidable.

If you want to post comments directly on the blog, that's great. Just keep in mind that, unlike the posts themselves, comments will not be emailed to the list—you will need to check in periodically at the blog to read comments.

Peace,

Eric
