Options galore

You've got options

It’s time to do a little housekeeping as it relates to my blog.  I’ve made a few enhancements to the blog that I hope everyone will enjoy.  I’ve added two new features on the right-hand column:  first,  a text update feature that will allow me to send flash-updates to those of you who like information fast.  Now, don’t freak… I’m not in the business of selling your phone numbers to outside parties.  This is simply another tool for me to communicate directly with you.  I’ve been told I’m an over communicator, and it is probably true,  but if you’re like me sometimes SMS (text messaging) is one of the best ways to get news quick.  Not to mention, I think this might be a fun way to announce giveaways, contests, contest winners..etc.   Secondly,  I’ve added a poll feature. I plan on creating a new poll every couple of weeks, (give or take a few days) so please make sure  to cast your vote when you stop by the site.

In regards to my post, I’ve added two new features that allow you to print and/or email my post.  The current location of these two add-ons are at the top left-hand corner of my page (my plan is to move them to the bottom in the near future).  In order to share my post with your friends via email, simply click, “Email This Post,” fill out the form, and off it goes to your buddy.  Secondly, I’ve added a handy feature that allows you to print this post for those of you, like myself, that like hard copies.  Simply click, “Print This Post” and you’ll have a nice printer friendly version.

Lastly, remember you can always subscribe to my post by entering your email address on the right hand column and clicking subscribe.  Feedburner (Google owned and operated) then sends you a confirmation email that you MUST click on in order to activate the subscripiton.  If you grow sick of me, or change  your email address, you can simply click unsubscibe via a link that Feedburner provides at the end of everyone post update.  It’s truly a slick service and I think many of you will love it.  And, for you super RSS nerds like me, just click on “RSS Subscribe” and get updates via your favorite RSS reader as soon as they are posted.

As always, remember you can follow me on Twitter, Become a Fan of my Facebook page, and for those of you who would like to share Facebook albums with me I’ve created a new Facebook profile strictly for that purpose.  Here’s is that Facebook profile.  If you want to share some of your photos, simply add me as a friend (I will add anyone as long as they are currently a Fan of my Batdorff Photography Page).

I’m always willing to add new features to my blog, so if anyone has any suggestions or has seen something cool on another site, please let me know.  Remember, I’m here to serve…;)
