Volume 11 , Issue 15

Looking Back ... To The Future!

Looking back at the OkieLegacy beginnings ten years has has been somewhat interesting to see where we started from and where we are now. The archives shows the 1st Issue we published as a multiple feature format. Before then, it was basically a weekly personal journal entry.

We have come along way in those ten years! From "Oakie's Heart To Heart" (a weekly personal journal entry) to "The OkieLegacy" Tabloid & eZine.

Michael Wagner has been busy coding our NEW formats for the eZine and Tabloid and have them up and running. I do not know what we would do without his expertise! let us know what you think of each.

The OkieLegacy Tabloid is now a three-column newspaper style front page with summaries where visitors can choose to read more or not. The ezine was developed for those that like to print the newsletter and read away from the computer (all content except comments are on the front page). Have you noticed what is in the new navigation bar at the top of the page?

Up in the upper right corner of the Tabloid page is a place to "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" your email address from our "mailing list." Just click on the "Subscribe" or "Unsubscribe" Links and insert your email address.

Below that is a place to enter your email and a password to subscribe and login to our "Communities" and "Families" sections that you see in the menu-links in the black Menu headings at the top. You can click the following headings: Page One, Communities, Families, Recipes, Blogs, Webcam, Classifieds & Crossword, Other Formats to manuever to different parts of the newsletter and other webpages we manage.

Underneath that black, top-menu is a listing of "The OkieLegacy" Volumes from Vol. 6 thru Vol. 11 and our Archives page.

Notice the "Register @ FamilyNet (Group = Surnames, FAmily, Assoc.)" in the box in the third column, top-right of the page? This is a place that you can register your surname in the "Group" field; add your "Name" in the field below; and either enter your "email," "address," or "phone" in the "Contact" field.

Before you hit the submit button, be sure to let us know which item you put in the "Contact" field by clicking either the "email, addr or phone" button below the "Contact" field. If you want to subscribe for the newsletter and are not already subscribed, click the little square box "subscribe to news" next to the "submit" button. Then click "submit."

If you scroll down in the Tabloid pages, on the left you will see an area we have set aside for Business Card Ads that can be submitted by emailing NW Okie (mcwagner.lk@gmail.com) a copy of your business card to scan and add to our weekly newsletter. So far that service is FREE. The Ad you see now is our Techie's business card for "Michael Wagner."

Interspersed throughout the Tabloid & eZine pages you will see random images that change every time you open the browser page. So ... Have I rambled on making sense of the NEW formats for the eZine and Tabloid newsletter? What do you think of the NEW Formats?
