Site news: Some housekeeping, and a way to get StLJN via email

Spent a bit of time over the weekend doing some calendar updates - with more to come as the new month begins later this week - and also did some cleanup on the sidebar, deleting a couple of dead links, adding some new links to several sections, and also adding a bunch more of those "chicklet" buttons that allow you, dear reader, to add StLJN's site feed to various RSS newsreaders with one click.

However, I realize that while RSS readers are growing in popularity, not everyone uses one. And so, in addition to more E-Z syndication options, there's now also a brand-new feature than enables you to receive StLJN by email. Just submit your email address, and on days when there's new content on the site you'll receive a single message with that day's post, or posts, as the case may be.

This is a free service, provided by a third-party company called FeedBlitz, that seems to be in fairly wide use across the Web. Assuming it works as promised, I thought it seemed worth a try as another way to make the site's content as accessible as possible. And while I'll be getting those emails myself, for quality control purposes, I'd also be interested in any thoughts or feedback from readers who choose to give the service a try. As always, you can send your comments on this, or any other aspect of StLJN, via email to stljazznotes (AT) yahoo (DOT) com.
