Newsletter status

In case you haven't noticed... we've been rather slack on posting to the newsletter.

We've finally decided to stop doing a newsletter for a number of reasons which I'll be happy to share if anyone is interested.

We WILL be keeping this blog. So, if you keep your subscription off and on you'll get things. However, we're going to concentrate on our bread and butter, the main Fayette Front Page site. If we think something is particularly interesting or have some spare time we'll be adding things on here.

Thanks so much for signing up and hanging in there with us! I hope you'll visit the Fayette Front Page daily (consider making it your home page).
