This picture has nothing to do with RSS feeds

Just a quick note to let everyone know that this week I'm doing some tinkering with Offbeat Home's RSS feed and email newsletter (which is just an emailed version of our RSS feed).

As some of you have noticed, we've been having issues with the existing feed and newsletter delivery for a couple weeks, and it's high-time I switched over from Feedburner to Feedblitz. The shift is seamless so there's no need to resubscribe, but I AM looking for feedback about what you think of the new formats of both the feed and the newsletter. I'm testing the shift today on Offbeat Home, and once I get things worked out, I'll be making the shift on Offbeat Mama and Offbeat Bride, too.

So, if you use RSS or the email newsletter and have thoughts — leave a comment! And for the rest of you, here's a picture of my dog.

I got to experience my first Offbeat Empire survey late last year, and IT WAS EXHILARATING. I won't lie: surveys are hard and can say hard things, but I like it…hard.

You guys, Geek Girl Con is just a month away and I am stoked. Most of the Offbeat Empire staff will convene in Seattle, WA, meaning — I'll get to meet my cohorts and even better, we'll get to meet readers! If you're even considering coming out, read all the details on Ariel's big bad Con post. We'll have a panel on Sunday at the Con AND — and I'm a little frightened for this — a mad party that Friday night featuring nerdy burlesque, cupcakes, and some crazy karaoke. Please note: I do a mean karaoke interpretive backup dance.

Read up and make plans. I can't wait!

Jax wants to know if I have any blogs to suggest for reading after she's covered all the Empire posts. *scoff* Do I have any blogs to recommend! I managed to keep it to ten.

I'm staying with my parents for a month and I'd really like to do a home tour of their home. I asked and they're cool with it, but when I looked over your submission info for home tours it seemed really focused towards people who actually lived in the home they would be touring.

Do you take home tour submissions about homes that aren't the homes of the writer/photographer?

Have you been thinking about submitting a post to Offbeat Home but find yourself stuck? Let's get you over that hurdle. Go, team!

Ooh, it's time to bring on a new Offbeat Empire staffer! I'm looking for an advertising smarty with 2-4 years of online ad sales experience to help us sell ads across all three sites: Offbeat Bride, Offbeat Mama, and Offbeat Home. Full requirements here.

If you want a little avatar to show up with your comments on Offbeat Home (…and Offbeat Mama, and Offbeat Bride, and thousands of other websites), here's where you set it up: GRAVATAR!
