December office closure

[PampChefJoy]

Hey cheffers! In case you don't follow on the website/blog, I am giving myself a family break during the month of December. Administrative duties (like processing new subscriptions and answering non-essential questions) are on hold during this month. I'm on vacation for the next couple of weeks and plan to spend some quality time with my family. You can read more in the last few entries at Tasty Tidbits Newsletter Service (http://www.tastytidbits.net).

I have a really exciting January planned... I will sneak peek you in on the details -- I have invested an insane amount of money working with a programmer who is custom writing a subscriber interface for me. What this means is that you will be able to login to my site, check your subscription expiration, referral credits, last payment, etc. And also update your info yourself, if you change email addresses, etc... PLUS you will be able to retrieve your newsletter, newsletter code in HTML, or click and have it sent to your email! WAHOO! Now, selfishly, I hope this means I spend less time working on manually administering subscriptions and more time on what I like to do and what will benefit you -- DESIGN! More flyers, more email templates, more for you!

I leave for vacation on Wednesday and I am way stressed over packing and prepping so I won't be around much... so have a great couple of weeks and I will check in with you when I get back!

Hey all! I am back on terra firma and still swaying! Need to get my land legs back :) Give me a few days to catch up on emails and I will try to get everyone addressed before I return to my day job in a couple days. I will then be minimally online as I am getting ready for the launch of the new web interface for the site - woohooo! I wound up contracting for some more changes that will help to further automate and track... I cannot wait!

Sorry if you were checking the blog for pics or updates. I actually decided to completely unplug myself and didn't check internet at all from the ship. It became painfully obvious once I got there how much I needed a break, so I forced myself to not deal with anything but having a good time. I will sort through the pics and get a trip report up soon!

Thank you again for your ongoing support and patience and for allowing me to take this time off!
