Urban Yukon Blog Urban Yukon news and announcements

…and because of that, you probably won’t see this post, unless you’re one of the very, very few that subscribes to the Urban Yukon Blog itself.

The list of posting on the Urban Yukon home page is supplied by the Feed Informer service, and they’re monkeying with the internals at the moment.

Update: as of sometime in the afternoon on April 17, it started working again.

Over the past couple of weeks, eight new members have joined Urban Yukon.

Spread the good word about Urban Yukon with one of these nifty badges.

It’s true that I was responsible for some of the rush by missing a number of requests to join made during the beginning of the year, but I just stumbled upon the other blogs by chance. Few, if any, of these new members were previously aware of Urban Yukon, but they did seem to follow other Yukoners’ blogs and so it stands to reason that we could boost our membership if each of us were to promote Urban Yukon on our blogs.

The Urban Yukon site already has instructions for adding a badge like the example on the right to your blog, but I’ve added some more detailed instructions for folks using WordPress or Blogger/Blogspot below. If you use a different system, or need a bit of extra help, just let me know: urbanyukon swirl-above-number-2 yukondude speck-below-greater-than com.
