That is Google that provides it - I can't change that - sorry! Their version is sort of tough - but I guess it works...

You may want to provide a button that allows you to get another word just in case the one provided is completely unreadable.

Just sayin...

Love the concept of this new feature!!

OK, I signed up today for the email...not sure I need it, but we'll see; thanks in advance! Hope that you get some kind of credit for each of our clicks.

Four forumites have been twittering for several days but not directly to the VIOL_Forum where all readers can follow the text and pics. Rumpole2 and wife traveled to Jost today with Captain Brandi...the sailing bunch headed to Norman yesterday...hope I don't get blocked for disclosing this info! These tweets are brief but can include pics...actually pretty neat from my perspective...in the moment reporting.

Thanks, this is a good feature. I've used this feedburner feature on other sites and its worked pretty well. Is the feed only for new topics?

I wonder if there is a text only option? My blackberry doesn't like formatted email. I'll see how that goes.

I got the first installment today - new topics only, html formatted email. I need to upgrade my blackberry to V4.5 for html formatted email - this may push me over the edge for this.

Rick I am looking into this but they don't give a lot of options. I guess it is the price you pay for a free service - but - on my end I like since it can deliver ads :)

Thanks for the feedback!

I wouldn't stress on the text-only option, only a few old-timers care. I use the same service for the madfoxbrewing.com newsletter and wrestle with the same issues. We don't want to feed comments, so that works fine for us.

The html version looked great in Apple Mail.
