From the email regarding the upcoming changes to Personal Web Sites at the end of April:

"A new feature has been added to the "For Our Hosts" section of your Personal Web Site. At the beginning of May, your Hosts will be able to import contacts from online providers like Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Comcast, Outlook, and Outlook Express. Hosts will be able to import contacts (in the Guest List screen) by clicking on the "Import Guest E-mails" button."

That is GREAT! I know this is the reason why some of my hosts hesitate to use my PWS to send their email invitations, since they have them stored in their email provider's site already and don't want to have to key them in again. I'm DEFINITELY going to start promoting this as soon as the feature is elevated!! WOOHOO!! :)

Oh, and I just realized that *I* can use this, too, to send an invitation to everyone for my HWC fundraiser/catalog show - YIPEE YAHOOO!!!
 
I read that too, Cathy and hope that it works smoothly!
 
That is so cool. Personally I have a lot of people in my address books who I might not have thought of when inviting someone to a show. But hey, if they go uploaded, then why not just invite them. This should be a good thing!
 
That is AWESOME!!! I definitely sympathize with hosts who don't want to individually type each email address into their guest list, so this is great!
 
Cool!:cool:
 
I thought that was a GREAT New feature for our hosts!
