A note about email notifications

Oops - some of the formatting of email notifications had changed since I looked at them last and I didn't realize. There were a few bits in the original post here that were not accurate - below is the new and improved, entirely accurate, version. Sorry to have confused people even further!

The email notifications have caused some confusion.

When you get a notification that there is a post on the blog, you are welcome simply to read it there in your email, or you can go read it on the blog by using the hotlink at the bottom of the message.

Please note that your email notification will only include the text of the latest post to the blog, nothing else from the blog. If the post mentions other parts of the blog (the sidebar, the other pages of the blog, or the tabs, etc.) they will not be visible to you in your email.

If you use the hotlink in your email to go to the post in the blog itself, you will see the other parts of the blog. Again, this is not absolutely necessary if you just want to see the latest news that was posted.

Please note that the hotlink at the bottom of your email will only take you to that particular post, not the homepage of the blog, so if you like to bookmark things, don't use that link. Click "home" once you get to the blog for the main page/URL or here it is if you'd like to copy/paste from your email: http://tacclay.blogspot.com 

Again, if you would like to be removed from the notifications list, just let one of the monitors know. Please be sure to check the blog regularly for info after that so you don't miss anything important. Think of the blog as an extension of the white board in the studio. Everything from kiln firings, to Open Studio cancelations, to studio problems, to celebrations (like: Have you seen our incredibly fun new shade on the window?!*) will be posted on the blog. It will be assumed that all regular Open Studio attendees and monitors and clay class instructors are aware of all blog announcements.

*No, seriously, have you? It is great! And should keep our plastic covered work cart cooler... now if we could just get everyone to close the plastic promptly and completely! Ahem...

  1. Thanks, Susan. And we really do have a curtain now! I'm going to get us a tie back so that we can pull it open when we are working in there (to let in some light).

    And if you think that the shade is exciting, wait until you see the peg board!

  2. I saw the curtain last night! I think it's formatted like a roman shade isn't it? so that you can pull a drawstring and raise/lower it as you like? I know that's what Concetta mentioned a while back but I don't know if that's what they went with and I didn't look closely enough last night. As for the peg board - your remark makes me think it must already be up - did I REALLY not even notice it when I was in there last night??!! doh!
