1.  eNews* vs *spam*
How you do feel about turning this eList into a weekly eNewsletter, and
creating a new one for discussions?  That way people who just want to find
out when to come along, and how to [insert random gardening trivia/skill
here] could get involved without having to deal with our organisational
spam.

If this is what people want, I'd love to show someone how to do it.

We could try setting up a way of automatically generating most of the email
content in future (from blog posts & calendar, etc).  For the moment,
though, it'd be great to have someone or a couple of someones to help write
it (perhaps on a roster).  Any volunteers?  No perma/horticultural or techie
knowledge required.

*2. Easy blog posts*
*
PressThis bookmarklet*
Method 1:
Select & drag the highlighted text below up to your bookmark toolbar (under
your browser address bar) to get a button you can click to bookmark any page
directly onto the eatMonash blog.  You can rename the button by right
clicking on it and selecting 'properties'.

javascript:var%20d=document,w=window,e=w.getSelection,k=d.getSelection,x=d.selection,s=(e?e():(k)?k():(x?x.createRange().text:0)),f='
http://eatmonash.wordpress.com/wp-admin/press-this.php
',l=d.location,e=encodeURIComponent,u=f+'?u='+e(l.href)+'&t='+e(d.title)+'&s='+e(s)+'&v=4';a=function(){if(!w.open(u,'t','toolbar=0,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,width=720,height=570'))l.href=u;};if%20(/Firefox/.test(navigator.userAgent))%20setTimeout(a,%200);%20else%20a();void(0)

{{{{{{{{{OR}}}}}}}}}

Method 2:

Drag the PressThis link on the tools
<http://eatmonash.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php>section of the eatMonash
wordpress page.

You'll need to login.     * username:  eatmonash     password: P3r3nn1al*
*

Post-by-email*
Here's how to post to the eatMonash blog by
email<http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/>.
Just send them to this address <nohi231bona at post.wordpress.com> (
nohi231bona at post.wordpress.com)

*3.  Facebook n Twitter*
I've taken the liberty of creating an EatMonash Twitter
account<http://twitter.com/eatmonash>,
so blog posts can automatically reach a wider audience.  If anyone thinks
I'm an idiot for doing this, or just has feedback, questions or ideas, I'd
love to hear from you.
*Login is eatmonash.  Password is P3r3nn1al*  (same as for wordpress)

Facebook's a little more tricky (can't autofeed from blog to group, do we
want a fan page? Would that just be for the garden or for the wider push for
an edible campus ...etc.)  Would love to chat with y'all about this stuff.*

4. eList archive onto the blog?*
Do we want to start putting our emails up on the blog for the world to see?
This way people can look back in time and see why certain decisions were
made, and who to speak to about them...
My gut feeling is that it's best to just put the eNewsletter up there, and
have a link to the existing eList
archive<https://lists.aktivix.org/pipermail/monashcommunitygarden/>on
the Garden Docs page (done).

5. photos**
*Thanks a bunch to Jess for taking some awesome
photos<http://www.facebook.com/photo_search.php?oid=148722887346&view=all>on
Thursday.  Check them out!
Do we want to keep doing photos through facebook, or start using Flickr or
something so we can embed them in the webpage?

Thanks for reading!  Look forward to your feedback.
A happy healthy exciting break to you all!
