Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I just had to do a massive upgrade of CyberMacro’s forum as we have been getting hit rather hard lately by spammers. The new forum has added protections against them making posts, but still keeps the forum open to people posting without having to register first. With the upgrade, I have created a new forum that pulls posts from as many blogs and forums that I can find that are related to macrobiotics and offer some type of syndication feed. rss http://www.cybermacro.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=57 I thought it would be nice to have one spot where people could get access to many forums and blogs. How this works is that when you add something to your blog or forum, it gets posted to CyberMacro’s forum shortly after. People only see a short intro to the post so do have to visit your blog etc to read the full one and hopefully with that will make it a point to become a reader of it on their own. The google syndication method used for blogger is not the industry standard, rss so I had to create a work around for those using blogger, but it is rather imperfect so the posts do not contain text, just the title’s but in most cases that maybe enough to spark interest. Google does provide a rss feed for the pro accounts which are not free. One thing on Yahoo groups, I can only include them if the message archives are public.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 ! That is wonderful (the feeds not the spammers, lol) Thank you for including my little neglected macro blog. I promise once fall hits, I'll be more regular in my blog postings (my dh is a teacher so summers are very family oriented with all of us home). New Macro forum at CyberMacro made of all your blogs etc I just had to do a massive upgrade of CyberMacro’s forum as we have been getting hit rather hard lately by spammers.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Just a consideration.... I might censor my writing on this group's site if I knew it was public on 's site. Might make ppl less willing to post if they know it goes out to a wider audience. > > > > I just had to do a massive upgrade of CyberMacro's forum as we > have been > > getting hit rather hard lately by spammers.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hi , Don’t worry, none of what is posted here will be appearing at CyberMacro as the message archive here is not public to do that. I hope it is ok that I did pick up your blog over at the new forum.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Yes, posting the blog is totally fine. Thank you! I post there with an unlimited public audience in mind and your link generates traffic to my site(s) so it's very great of you to do that. Was just thinking out loud in the prev mail that if this yahoo group WAS linked in the future, that some people might feel less inclined to post freely. Or, perhaps maybe that's my personal quirk!

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 u think if people are posting on the internet they would have an inkling of the unlimited audience there is! leslieanneashburn wrote: Yes, posting the blog is totally fine.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 , I agree and that's one reason I chose to make this group private. As it is I do feel strange that there are so many lurkers. I've many times considered weeding thru and dropping some from the group. Someone has always talked me out of it saying those reading may need help and quietly learning. I would like those that aren't really interested to drop from the group and others to try and participate even if they are shy. Ask a question, make a comment. I don't believe you have to be vegan macrobiotic to talk here!!! > > > > > > I just had to do a massive upgrade of CyberMacro's forum as we > > have been > > > getting hit rather hard lately by spammers.
