First edition of the photo.net newsletter on it's way.

The first edition of the photo.net monthly newsletter should be arriving in user's inboxes shortly (if it hasn't already).

This is a new project for us and we hope that you find it informative and interesting. The purpose of the newsletter is to bring the best of photo.net to your inbox. It will inform you of new site content, draw attention to some talented photo.net members, and highlight some of the more interesting tips, events, photos, and information posted to the site every month. With thousands of new forum and gallery posts every day, it would be impossible to keep track of everything on photo.net. The newsletter is our way to try and help.

If you are the kind of person who spends hours a day on photo.net, there won't be a whole lot that is new in the newsletter, and you might choose to not receive it. The link in the newsletter itself is the best way to do this. Yes, we know that the link is not a "http://photo.net" formatted address. This is because we needed to use a mass-mailing provider in order to do a mailing this large. Otherwise we ran the risk of getting photo.net email tagged as spam by many of the email providers. That would be a large problem. In the future, we are aiming to have a "I wish to receive the newsletter" link that can accessed via the "my workspace" area on photo.net. But for the moment, the unsubscribe link in the email is the way to go, it will NOT cause you to get more spam.
