Stephen Love emails to let me know that the R|Mail link for subscribing to Hawk Wings by email is broken.

It must have been that way since I moved the blog to TextDrive earlier in the year. Oops. Apologies.

At least it’s fixed now, with the provider of the RSS-to-email service switched to Feedburner. You can subscribe in the sidebar or here.

I prefer to get the feeds of my half-a-dozen favourite blogs this way. It helps to make my inbox a better “bucket” (as the productivity gurus say) for collecting the information I need to process. It might work for you too.

FeedBurner , the RSS feed management service, offers site owners a fancy HTML signature that displays a rotating and clickable series of your most recent posts.

A member of the FeedBurner team posted instructions in the FeedBurner forum on how to set this signature up in Outlook Express, Outlook 2003 and Thunderbird.

I am the kind of person who likes to think that whatever Thunderbird can do, Mail can do better.

So here are the instructions for constructing the rotating FeedBurner signature in Mail.app which actually looks quite nice:

After turning the feature on at FeedBurner, you get some HTML code. Copy it to the clipboard.

Then all you have to do is follow Melvin Rivera’s instructions for making a CSS signature, but using the HTML code, pasted into a text editor, as your template.

All done.

I’m not very good at marketing and promotion. If I were, and if I weren’t faintly opposed to HTML in email, I am sure that I would think this was very cool and a useful way to promote one’s site.
