Now you can "subscribe" to Amanda's Tanzanian blog/newsletters

Hello all and excuse me for "inviting" myself into your email box. However, since you are all on this list from Amanda regarding her blog posts... just wanted to update you on different ways you can get them in a simpler fashion. For example... with these methods, you don't have to be on her list and/or don't have to ever wonder if you missed any, because these are automatic.

If you go to www.manited.net you will see a "New Updates" box on the left side in green. There is a spot where you can enter your email address and after you do that, you will be "subscribed" to Amanzania (Tanzanian Rose.) When she posts... you get it. Simple. Clean. No forgetting.

Or... if you use Firefox (who doesn't use Firefox vs. IE???) you can add a "Live Bookmark" (RSS feed) by doing the following:

1) Click on "bookmarks"
2) Click on "Manage bookmarks"
3) In the new window that opens click on "File"
4) Click on "New Live Bookmark"
5) In the Name field, enter your description... for example "Tanzanian Rose" or "Amanda's Blog" or anything you like.
6) In the Feed Location field, enter this: http://amanzania.blogspot.com/atom.xml
7) Click "OK"
8) Then this Live Bookmark will show all her posts... in the bookmark section rather than the OLD fashioned, static bookmarks (favorites for you IE nerds :))
9) If you want to take it one step further... right click on the new feed you just created and select "Copy"
10) Close the "Bookmark Manager"
11) In Firefox... hold your mouse over the Bookmarks Toolbar (directly below the address bar/line) right click and select "Paste"

Now the RSS feed is live and available any time you click on it... making it simple and fast to see if she's posted lately.

You can also use the atom feed in your newsreader.

If all this is greek, please accept my apologies. If you want to try, but have questions, lemme know and I'll give it a go (with helping you.)

Good luck and enjoy the news from Amanda... any way you want!

We're also working on getting pictures posted on her blog (http://amanzania.blogspot.com) also... hopefully that comes together in the near future.

ciao,
clinton
