We Know We're Missing Some Peeps

Kim looked through the Listserv last night and we now know that we're still missing some people. If you are a parent, live in or near Pittsburgh, and have a blog, you are more than welcome to join us for an occasional get together. To get information on the get togethers, we'll need you to join the Listserv since we can't post addresses and such here. The Listserv is used only for communications regarding get togethers, so we promise not to clog your inbox.

Also, if you are not yet on the blogroll, let me know and I'll get you added ASAP. Thanks!

Update

If you didn't know that the next get-together is confirmed for September 28th at 2:30 pm, it's because you didn't sign up for the Listserv yet, or because the Listserv messages are stuck in your spam folder. Do what you need to do to continue to receive Burgh Mom updates via the Listserv, because this domain is going to be getting re-purposed very soon.

In case you haven't heard what's coming in this space, Burgh Mom is going to be used as was originally intended--as a resource for Pittsburgh Moms and Dads. It will have blog posts from several Pittsburgh Moms (or Dads, if I can find any willing to contribute!) with information such as ideas for things to do with the kids, reviews of local attractions, recipes, smart shopping tips, book reviews, how-to guides, and all kinds of other information that is of use to Pittsburgh Moms and Dads. Burgh Mom will also highlight some of the best blog posts the Burgh Moms have posted on their personal sites.

If you are interested in contributing and we haven't already talked about it, shoot me an email at burghbaby@gmail.com. It pays absolutely nothing, but is a chance to drive traffic to your site (if you want) and to share your knowledge with others in a semi-public forum. You can contribute as often as once per week, or only occassionally.

Thanks!

New Peeps!

A couple of new Burgh Moms were just added to the blogroll, so go say hi to them!

Action Required

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!
