As our group grows, I'm having some trouble getting messages to the group sent without being pegged as a spammer. To avoid this, I'm going to shift my bulk communications to the club blog (http://localfoodclub.blogspot.com) and stop sending out blanket emails unless it's something really urgent.
"Oh no! Does that mean I have to remember to check the blog every day?"
Yes and no. You do need to check it regularly, but there are tools that can help.
Option 1: Tie a string to your finger and use that as a reminder to check the blog.
Option 2: Subscribe to a service that will send you blog updates (aka an RSS feed) via email. I just signed up for daily updates from the localfoodclub blog at http://www.rssfwd.com/. This is the option that I recommend for the non-technical among you. You'll need to have the blog address (http://localfoodclub.blogspot.com) and your email address on hand to get set up. It's free and easy; you'll just have to be sure that your email account doesn't block the rssfwd address or mark it as spam.
The cool thing about checking the blog on a regular basis is that you'll get exposed to lots of interesting content that club members come across and want to share. The blog isn't just for logistical info...we've had all kinds of local food related content start to appear. If you're interested in contributing to the blog, send email to localfoodclub@gmail.com and we'll get you setup with an account and instructions. You're all encouraged to help us learn from each other!
