If you are one of the few people subscribed to my personal website blog by email, you probably received a number of posts today. I was importing old posts from my former Xanga blog, and unfortunately did not realize that WordPress was firing off email updates for each one. Please accept my sincere apologies! Fortunately I detected the problem not too long after I started. Hopefully you will not receive any more after this!

Flurry of Old Posts — Sorry!
Saturday, June 20th, 2009WordPress 2.7 Released!
Thursday, December 11th, 2008Yay! If you have a WordPress blog, this is great news. I expect to upgrade shortly. Many of the feature enhancements are behind-the-scenes sorts of things, things that make my life easier. You can find update information here.
Eeeeps! Sorry, everyone!
Thursday, September 25th, 2008I discovered a way to import all my old blog posts into WordPress. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me at the time, this had the tragic side effect of sending each and every one of those old posts to everyone on my email list. I am truly sorry about that! It’s one of those unhappy twists of fate that makes you want to go hide in a cave somewhere until people forget you ever had a blog!
Recent Posts
Sunday, September 21st, 2008Prior to getting my new email notifications up and running, I wrote a couple new posts. One is about the freeware Mac application JES Deinterlacer (of interest to those who work with video or video stills), and the other is a review of Enya’s album Amarantine.
Goodbye, FeedBlitz!
Saturday, September 20th, 2008I’ve recently completed the process of moving all subscribers to my new blog. I expect its new web-based email subscription system will work better.
- All emails from me will say they are from MichaelPrewitt.com, not from FeedBlitz.
- Replies to emails will be delivered to me, and not to some stranger!
- It is no longer necessary to go through another third party to add comments to a blog post. There is also support for personal avatars; initially Gravatars are enabled (when you comment with the email address associated with a Gravatar), and later I plan to add user profiles for those who want them.
