Action Required

Tuesday, September 2, 2008

A while ago, Kim and her husband were kind enough to set up a listserv for us to use. Listserv is a fancy way of saying electronic distribution list. It's also a piece of software but the term is often used generically, kind of like Kleenex. For the record, this list is run with Mailman software.

It works like this: You send an email to one address and all the list subscribers get it. Pretty simple.

Here's where you go to join the list (or "subscribe"): http://lists.mulberrymail.com/mailman/listinfo/burghmoms

Once subscribed, you'll get instructions for sending messages to the list and managing your subscription.

This will allow us to send confidential information, such as addresses, without posting them here and will let us have "conversations" much easier than comments. Go sign up!

Thank you!

Is this Mac and PC compatible? I will probably wait to do it at home from my Mac.

ciao,

Awesome!

I assume it needs to be approved? I signed up but haven't gotten any e-mail notification re: access or how to use it.

Kim said...

I'll check on it. I haven't received any requests to approve subscriptions.

And RPM, it doesn't matter what kind of machine you use. It's all based on email address, not machine.

You're subscribed, Allison!
