| Simplicity News June 2006 If you are receiving this e-zine, you either subscribed via the Catalyst Organizing Solutions web site, via another web site or you were personally invited to join and you did. If this e-zine brings you value, please forward it on to your friends and associates with all text and contact information intact. And remember... if you are planning to change your email address, we don't want to lose you! Simply UNSUBSCRIBE your current email address, and then RE-SUBSCRIBE with your new email address. You can do both by clicking on the appropriate word above. Remember you must confirm when you receive the email asking you to, or your subscription will not be processed. Thanks! In This Issue:
Announcement Instead of 100% of the content living in the body of an email, the beginning of each section will be in the email along with a live link, which will take you to my blog to read the rest of the piece. This new format has a number of benefits for you... First, following the links takes you to a dynamic and interactive resource full of new articles and information each month! You won't just be able to read the one article you clicked on. Because you'll be at my blog, you'll have access to all the information I've been writing for the past year. Secondly, it gives you an opportunity to comment directly in real time to anything contained in the newsletter or to past blog entries as well. You simply hit the COMMENTS link at the end of any article and it opens up a comments box where you can leave your thoughts, questions or ideas. Thirdly, it simplifies where all my information lives. Right now, my information is split between two places. All my newsletter archives live on my web site and blog entries live on my blog. The new format consolidates all my information into one fun, interactive site. The fourth benefit is that although you'll still receive your monthly newsletter, you can also subscribe directly to the blog's feed. Simply enter your email into the Subscribe Me box at the top right, and you'll be notified whenever a new blog entry is posted.Oh, and no worries about constant email notifications clogging your in-box...you'll only be notified once daily. And lastly, the format change is great for you, because unlike the newsletter archives on my web site, my blog is searchable! The Sphere BlogSearch box on the blog allows you to search all my posts and archives for information that interests you based on specific keywords. But wait, it gets better! It also returns search results from other blogs as well, so you'll have even more information if you choose to explore that direction. Content searchability means even if you miss a newsletter or you're a brand new subscriber, you can always find the content you want just by using the search box. In short, this new format is a major win for both you and me and I truly hope you'll not only enjoy it, but that you'll be active on my blog, and leave comments and thoughts often!
You Asked... Avis, there are several ways to organize recipes, and he may have to try a few methods before he finds one that he really likes.
