Newsletter migration to FeedBlitz

The team at OHAH has been working hard to spread the message about our cause. One of the ways we achieve that is by communicating on the different social sites we have accounts on such as Face Book, MySpace,Twitter and YouTube to name a few.  Our web site here at Operationhugahero.org is our main communications portal if you will, and helps us to achieve one of our goals of being able to maintain that close dialog and relationship with our Hug-A-Hero families, as well as all those interested in following our progress or in helping us to spread the word about our mission.

Many of you have signed up for our email newsletter and it is to you that I am writing tonight’s post. We have some very exciting new features and enhancements to the site that we will be rolling out this month. The first one of those is our new and improved newsletter feature.

If you are a current subscriber, there is some important information below that we need you to be aware of so you can keep getting updates from us. If you have not yet signed up for our newsletter feature, you are going to want to do this so you don’t miss out on all the great new features in store for our visitors and subscribers.

Late last month we converted out RSS feed system from FeedBurner to FeedBlitz.  Most of you will not have noticed as it was a fairly seamless process. The newsletter feature is the final part of the integration and that means that everyone that is currently subscribed will be getting a notification from our newsletter vendor FeedBlitz in the next few days. Actually the cut-over is going to take place on November 4^th at approximately 8:00 PM EST.

So what do you need to do if you are currently subscribed to OPERATION HUG-A-HERO ?

Add feedblitz@mail.feedblitz.com to your address books or email white lists immediately.

• Only unsubscribe to our newsletter using the links we provide in each email, and not on your ISP’s spam or abuse buttons.
• Look out for the message from FeedBlitz advising you that the change has taken place.

If you want to know what the new Newsletter will look like, click on the Preview Link either here or on the home page. Be sure to pass our Newsletter on and invite others to sign up too.

Stay tuned for our Press Release that will be posted on Wednesday evening after the migration.  It will be in the new format and  the Press Release provides a lot of the details as to why we decided to use FeedBlitz services.

Thanks Again

Team OPERATION Hug-A-Hero
