How to Subscribe to Spindlicity and What's Coming Up

Hello Spinners,

Several people have asked how to subscribe to the new Spindlicity "blogazine" format.  If you regularly subscribe to blogs you can subscribe to Spindlicity in the same way you're used to getting your blogs.  If you've never subscribed to a blog, click on the button on the left hand sidebar that says "subscribe to this blog's feed."

A page will open up that allows you to choose the method you use to subscribe to the blog.  Methods will pop up including Blogger, Live Bookmarks, and Google.  Click on one of these and it will download a little applet that will show you whenever a blog that you subscribe to has been updated.  I use Bloglines, which I think is a good one to start with if you're new to blog subscribing, but the other methods work fine too. 

If you're a long time reader of Spindlicity, you'll notice some of our older articles are showing up new.  We're slowly porting all the archives over so that they can be archived under the new blog system.  You may enjoy re-visiting these gems, I love to re-read my old issues of magazines, and you may too.  If you're a newer reader of Spindlicity, these may be new to you, enjoy!

We have a lot of good stuff in store for you as the Spindlicity blogazine gets up and running.  We'd love to hear from you if there are topics or articles you'd like to see.  Similarly, if you're interested in guest blogging for us, drop us a a line at E D I T O R at Spindlicity D O T C O M.

Enjoy the vintage Abby Franquemont article below, and keep an eye on this space for more spinning goodness.

Welcome to the new Spindlicity "blogazine" format

Gentle Readers,

We here at Spindlicity have been thinking long and hard about our magazine format.  Although we love our magazine style, we find that going so long between issues means we lose touch with our readers between each issue.  So we've decided to go to a "blogazine" format.  We think it's a win-win format!

The Good News.

Spindlicity will be updated much more frequently, which means more spinning fun for you!
You will be able to subscribe to our feed, just like you would with any other blog, so that you will know when there is something new and exciting up at Spindlicity.
All of our old articles will be archived in the new format and it will be easier to find specific types of articles instead of wading through past issues.
All of our old issues will still be archived in their current form in case you want to look back at our "old school" style.
Article submissions will go more smoothly for us.
We can now accept comments and questions on every article.
We no longer have to code every issue by hand.

Although the look of Spindlicity is now a little different, we think that once you get used to the new format, you'll love it.

We're starting off with an article on cotton by Phreadde Davis, we hope you like it!

Spinningly yours,

Janel Laidman, editor
