I've just installed a new component to my website's backend that allows registered users to receive emailed updates from this website. The really cool thing about this is that users can choose which sections of my website they want to receive emailed updates from. So, for instance, if a person wishes to receive only and all updates concerning Radical Theory (the section of my site covering thoughts on Parecon, Syndicalism, etc.), then they can check that box and not be bothered with emails regarding blog posts, philosophy, and all that other jazz.

Maybe it's just me, but this is really neat. My site basically sends out a TomGram to interested subscribers. I've waited a long time to find an easy-to-install script that does this, and now I've come across a Joomla! component that does this and more. Score.

Hopefully this will provoke more discussion on this site rather than other blogging outlets such as LiveJournal. It's not that I don't like LiveJournal and all, but I'd much rather consolidate all my writing and discussions on this site. It helps me search through it later, work on articles in progress, etc.

So if you're a friend of mine and regularly discuss politics or economics and all that stuff with me on LiveJournal, then please register an account with DCTedrow.net and then subscribe to receive email updates. (The email subscribe option is available only to registered users who are logged in.) I really would rather drift away from LiveJournal, but I'd also like to stay in touch.
