Receiving IEC Journal Posts by E-mail

Subscribing to receive copies of IEC Journal posts by e-mail is a four step process:

1. Go to RssFwd.

2. When asked for the RSS feed, enter: http://www.iecjournal.org

3. Enter your e-mail address when requested.

4. Reply to the confirmation e-mail.

Notes:

RssFwd gives you options as to how e-mails are delivered to you. You can modify these when you initially subscribe or at any later time later through the "Manage your subscription" link at bottom of each e-mail. You can stop your subscription the same way.

Be aware that the e-mails received through this system are oddly formatted. Here's an example.

RssFwd is a free service that converts each new posting into an e-mail, and forwards it to your e-mail In Box automatically. There are a number of such free services. We have been using RssFwd since February 2007. Except for the odd formatting, it seems to reasonably work well, but we welcome your suggestions as to alternatives.

A more detailed explanation, with screen capture printouts, was distributed at the October and November IEC meetings.

In lieu of getting e-mail, some people may prefer to use a separate RSS reader program. These are much more efficient, but only if you use them to monitor multiple sites. Information on using RSS readers is available.

Thanks to Beverly Jordan for pointing out that our directions for subscribing to receive IEC Journal posts by e-mail could be improved.
