I have spent a lot of time talking to a great many of you since I declared that I was tightening focus and splitting into a network of “elementary” Blogs.

My friend Katy Castro recently wrote about transitioning a niche blog, and one of the main points was Communicating With Readers, and that’s exactly what I’ve been doing.

Through comments, emails, messenger chat, and even phone conversations, the majority percentage of you really did not like the idea.

You were afraid I may ignore the other aspects, not cover them as thoroughly as I should or once did, etc etc. I can assure you this would not have been the case.

First and foremost, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! to all Moms and expectant Moms out there, did you call yours? :-). This post is for all Bloggers far and wide that think it’s “just not happening”…it WILL.

Since I make it a point to tell everything that happens on or to this Blog, here goes.

Those of you that have been with me since the beginning, know that this blog hasn’t been up all that long. I started 8 months ago in October 2007, although it doesn’t look it.

As I wrote last, after reading much about how RSS subscribers hate having to click the link to read the full article, and even getting some personal requests for a full feed, I have complied After all, it’s all for the readers right? Yes!

After atempting the “full feed plugin” and failing miserably, I contacted Feedburner for some help. Their forum is now closed so I found their new “help” group (sigh) with a plea for help. The response I received was a little less then helpful, “If FeedBurner doesn’t receive your full post, there is no way for it to republish your full post.”

Umm OK, so much for that idea.

We want to make sure you don’t miss out on a single issue of “Your Direct Sales Web Success” or anything else for that matter.

We know that unwanted email is a big problem these days, and many email providers have added filters and blocking mechanisms in place.

Unfortunately, some filters detect legitimate mail as spam, too, making it increasingly difficult for the good guys to get their messages through to their subscribers and customers.

While different email providers have different filters, the one important thing to do is add: admin@dennisedell.com to your address book.
