Hey, Rob, thanks a ton for the heads up! I’ve been aware of that bug for a while but hadn’t had time to track it down, so I’m delighted that you did.

I found a bug in “The Excerpt Reloaded” in that sometimes tags aren’t closed. You can find a fix along with an explanation of the problem here: http://robsnotebook.com/the-excerpt-reloaded

Yes, this sounds perfect!

It might just be the time of night it is, but most of that went right high up over my head *L* I’ll have to look at it again in the morning.

How and why to combine an e-newsletter and a blog — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 21:48:55 +0000

[...] Sarah and I will try to answer more fully your questions about the specifics of creating an e-newsletter with WordPress. Sarah has written a technical explanation on her own blog. Note that I still send the newsletter out via EmailLabs, my email service provider. All I do is copy/paste the "code" behind the WordPress page we've created. And yes I still get the reporting on click-throughs, opens, etc. via EmailLabs. – Debbie [...]

Hi, Peggy, thanks for your detailed comment! Debbie and I are also doing this for several of her blogs, and it works great for keeping people updated on everything that’s happening.

We went about this project differently just because the 15,000+ WordBiz Report subscribers are used to a monthly email, and we wanted to stick with that format. We also really like the level of statistics detail that EmailLabs provides.

In either case, it’s exciting to see all the ways that blogs can be used with various services to provide information to people faster and easier than ever.

You are a clever woman Sarah! Very neat! Thanks for sharing the extra info. I know that I could battle through this myself but with so little time at the moment I would be ever grateful for a plug-in (for this one I would even hand over cash)

Keep up the great work
