A Little Spring-cleaning, A Little Zookoda
How it gets to be Monday so fast, I will never know. Today’s task here at the Transparent Hypnotist is to embark on a little Spring-cleaning. Rather than sweeping up with a broom (okay, a shovel), I am going to spend some time adding some functionality to this blog. A lot of it will not be noticeable to you, my dear reader (spam filters on the comments and things of that nature).
But there will be one thing you can help me decide on and that is Zookoda.com. No, it is not a mobile phone that features animal sound ring tones. Rather, it is an email subscription service that will allow you to receive an email every so often from me (it could be daily, weekly, or monthly - I am probably opting for monthly), which summaries the past month’s posts on this blog. Hence, this may be more spring-cleaning for you as well. With such a function, it consolidates everything in one neat email. This is great if you are only a sometimes reader.
For bloggers, this is a way to create a subscription base of visitors you know who want to read what your posts. It allows people to sign-up and keeps track of who does what with the email (including click-through rates and unsubscribers). According to the specks of Zookoda, the email can match the blog’s look and here is the big one - it is a great way to reach mobile readers - you know the ones - they read all their email on their mobile devices, phones, iPod touch, and such. As a blogger, you can also opt to schedule broadcast (the newsletters), so that it happens automatically. Nice. Oh, and did I mention this service is FREE.
As I continue my clean here and a magical button that say “subscribe to the transparent hypnotist newsletter here” appears, now you know what it means. Now please lift your fingers from the keyboard so I can dust there.
