>Hi folks, > >Here is a really great site to keep your eyes on. Not too much for >Virginia as yet, but its only been going a few months. > >Carmen Finley ************************************************************************* >In the 5 months since the Newspaper Abstracts site opened it has really taken >off. To date we have had over 18,000 visitors and 78 MB of data in over >1,600 pages with plenty of room for more! > >Some may have noticed that the site has now moved. A project this size >deserved its own spot on the web and can now be found at: > >http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com/ > >The off-site links have been moved from the individual county page to the >state page - just scroll to the bottom of the county listings. This move >makes it a little easier to find the links and for me to keep them updated. >A form has also been added for you to submit links to newspaper clippings you >may have on your site. This form is at: > >http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com/submitlinks.html > >There is also a new announcement only list for those that just want to keep >up to date with the additions to the site but not necessarily receive all the >submissions. Each Monday one email goes out noting the additions to the site >in the previous week. It will list the state, county, year and month only - >not the actual articles. If you wish to subscribe to this list send a blank >email to: >Newspaper-Updates-subscribe@topica.com > >Many books have also been published with information extracted from >newspapers. I would like to begin adding this information to the site so if >you have newspaper related books you have published or know of someone who >does, please contact me. > > >Caution - Call for volunteers below! > >I am looking for someone who is good at making banners and logos. I have >searched the web but cannot seem to find anything that fits our site and my >graphics program is relatively worthless. Anyone on the list willing to make >a few for us to use on the site? > >I could also use some straight-forward instructions on how to set up Eudora >Light for Macintosh to use with a POP account that goes with the new web >site. I must confess it has me all confused at the moment. > >Occasionally I have individuals send me .doc attachments with transcribed >articles inside. My Mac computer is 5 years old and will not open these >documents. Is anyone willing to open these attachments for me, cut & paste >into an email and send them back thru the list? I currently have 15 such >attachments that I cannot open. > >And last but not least, I need several volunteers to transcribe newspaper >articles from my copies. Life as a wife, mother, home daycare operator, >craft business and cub scout leader, along with my own research and keeping >the site updated is keeping me very busy and I could use a little help. Any >transcription volunteers?? > >Thank you to all who have contributed to the success of this site. It could >not have taken off so well without you!
