blog

Frequent visitors and subscribers to our RSS feed (you can be one too!) may have noticed a brief interruption in service recently. That’s because we’ve been recently upgrading our hosting infrastructure, updating to the very latest version of WordPress, and enhancing our RSS feed, all at the same time! This caused just a few hiccups, but we’re back up for good now, and should have lots of great posts in the next few days that were queued by the move (have you read Andrew’s post on strategy and process, or Eve’s post on feedback for creative folks?).

Among the exciting new features you can enjoy is subscription to the Beaconfire Wire via email. Following a suggestion by reader Norman Reiss, we’ve implemented Feedburner’s email update function, so if you’d prefer to see new posts in your inbox, just enter your address in the box to the left. While we’re not thrilled that it includes both a CAPTCHA and a second opt-in, we did like Feedburner’s copious configuration options and reporting - give it a try for your own blog! By signing up for email updates, you’ll receive a message every day around lunchtime, if there’s a new post in the previous 24 hours.

For those who prefer to read the Wire in their RSS readers, you may notice some new buttons on the bottom of each post - at the moment, we’ve added links to email, Digg, Stumble and share each post on Facebook, to make it easier than ever to share a post you found insightful or helpful. If there are other actions you think we should add, let us know in the comments.

No matter how you read the Beaconfire Wire, we’re glad to have you as a reader. Keep checking back regularly for our thoughts on non-profits and technology, the latest on our clients and partners, and more.
