Today, many school kids will be writing about “What I Did on My Summer Vacation.” Unlike them, I’ve been busy working for most of the summer, but it seems like a good time to fill you in on some of the recent changes on this site.
Changes to My Lifestream:
My Lifestream page wasn’t functioning quite right, so I’ve made a few changes.
My Recent Comments have been deleted, because I just couldn’t get the My Comments Elsewhere plug-in to work properly. I tried to use it with BackType, but kept getting an error, so I used CoComment instead, with dismal results. It not only displayed comments that were still waiting to be approved by the blog owner, but posts on forums (which I could have accepted, if the links at least took you to the correct spot, which they didn’t).
In their place, you’ll now see My Recent Photos from my Flickr account, and My Recent Tweets, My Recent Blog Posts, and My Recent Bookmarks are now separated into their own sections.
I’ve also started adding comments to My Recent Reads and My Recently Watched Movies.
Please let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to see on this page!
New Mailing List:
You’ve always been able to subscribe to this blog, as well as Your Organizing Business, my blog for professional organizers, by RSS or email. But I know it can be really hard to stay on top of all that information (just search on “infomania” on this blog to read about my struggles in this area) so I’ve come up with another option for you.
Using MailChimp, I’ve created a mailing list which sends an email every Friday with all my posts for the week from both Your Organizing Business and From the Desk of Janet Barclay. Now, instead of receiving several items in your email or RSS reader, you can receive them all at one time! Simply click here to join my mailing list.
