As I know that some of you enjoyed these newsletters, I thought I would pass on the latest news

THE NEWSLETTER ONLINE 
************************************************************ 
This week, we say goodbye to the New York Carver 
Newsletter and welcome the Medieval Blogger, an 
easier way to keep instantly up-to-date with 
What's New & Cool in the Middle Ages. 

As you may have noticed, the Newsletter has lagged 
in 2004, bitten by time and work constraints. 

Instead of abandoning it altogether, a new format  is 
to take its place... 
  

The Medieval Blogger 

************************************************************* 
Before the formal welcome to the blog, 
a sincere thank you to New York Carver Newsletter 
subscribers (and scribes) for their help, kinds words, 
support and interest. I continue to look forward to 
your help and suggestions with the current format. 

So What's a Blog? 

Formally called a Web log (put them together  = BLOG), 
it's an easy tool publishes to the Web with a push of 
a button. That's why they've become so popular with 
Webmasters: Type in your information, add links where 
appropriate...and your done. 

What Happened to the Newsletter? 

The Medieval Blogger replaces the weekly Newsletter. 

As numbers of readers climbed to near 1,000 worldwide 
over the past year, the Newsletter has become an uphill 
climb to produce and post. The hours it took  to e-mail all of 
you in separate 300 email packets  - my ISP sets limits - 
was probably the most time-consuming bit of it. Add to that 
the Newsletter archive that I never seemed to get around to 
updating and...you get the idea.... 

So...welcome to the Medieval Blogger. Check back 
every few days for instant updates on news, cool sitings, and 
of course, check out what YOU submit, along with your 
nominations for Websites of the Damned. Whereas it often 
took hours to produced the Newsletter, instant updates can 
be posted anytime using the new format. Best of all, it 
automatically keeps an archive of past blogs that readers 
can access with a click. 

Note to Mac users: formatting issues are being addressed. 
Hang in there! 

As always, the Medieval Blogger continues to be a great way 
to keep everybody up to date on what interests us all : virtual 
trips to medieval art, architecture and history, and to the 
Renaissance, up to and including 21st century museum openings, 
faires and festivals. 

So...tell your family. Tell your friends! The Medieval Blogger is upon you :) 

Finally, don't forget to bookmark the new page or simply drop by 
the New York Carver Homepage at newyorkcarver.com
