Comments on: Using Blogs and Wikis to Communicate with Clients http://librariesinteract.info/2006/08/10/using-blogs-and-wikis-to-communicate-with-clients/ Blog central for Australian Libraries Wed, 02 Sep 2009 05:27:40 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Peta http://librariesinteract.info/2006/08/10/using-blogs-and-wikis-to-communicate-with-clients/comment-page-1/#comment-491 Peta Mon, 25 Sep 2006 22:20:17 +0000 http://librariesinteract.info/2006/08/10/using-blogs-and-wikis-to-communicate-with-clients/#comment-491 I have been using it for quite a long time for the Bond library blog, but only recently have others started using it. The tricky part is finding an easy way to add the html code to the signature file. Some email apps make it easier than others. Webmail applications are more difficult, or impossible. We found the easiest way to do it was to create the html file and ask users to save it to the folder on their C drive where their signatures were saved. Then, they could just edit the file in Outlook to add their personal details. Otherwise, the Advanced edit option had to be used and different people had different editors opening up and they weren't sure what to do next. Feedburner provides instructions for various email applications. I have been using it for quite a long time for the Bond library blog, but only recently have others started using it.

I use this site to manage my feed and they have lots of cool features like the animated promotional signature which scrolls through the last few blog entries. Best thing...it's free. Oh....somebody told me my blog was mentioned at Click06. Was that you Kate? Anyhoo thanks!
