*****************************************************************
SUBSCRIPTION BY EMAIL
*****************************************************************

If the thought of the Yahoo Groups web interface brings you out in a cold
sweat, then tremor no more. You can, of course, subscribe and unsubscribe by
email. The addresses are now listed on http://weblogs.co.uk/ukb/ .

*****************************************************************
POLITICAL WEBLOGS
*****************************************************************

Bobby of http://bobzilla.co.uk/weblog/ is giving serious consideration to
setting up a left-wing political weblog for "picking up on the issues,
choosing stories that matter, commenting on the world at large and putting
forward the position of people who don't get their voice out there very
much". He asked on UKB Discuss if anyone is interested in collaborating with
him on it.

*****************************************************************
CHAT ROOMS
*****************************************************************

Freeserve are setting up a new service that allows website authors to have
dynamically created chat rooms, says Grom of http://www.pri.me.uk/ . You can
find it here: http://www.freeserve.com/sitebuilder/generator.htm . On a
similar theme, Cal of http://iamcal.com/ points to
http://www.sulake.com/fuselight/ or http://www.iamcal.com/software/puse/ as
a solution for those thinking about making chat rooms the Macromedia way.
http://brentashley.manilasites.com/2002/02/23 was also pointed out by Marcia
of http://dutchbint.org/ .

-----------------------------------------------------------------

A fairly quiet week all in all. Sorry this one's a little late today - I was
somewhat distracted by a curry house in Staines. Vindaloo, vindaloo, and we
all love vindaloo...
