FAQ and Admin

We’re celebrating the Mac Tips 7th birthday all through August, so watch out for news to come…

The 06 August 2008 issue marks yet another 50th Tip — #350. I don’t ask for payment for these Tips and don’t intend to in the future either. However, each Tip takes me quite some time to prepare — generally several hours — and that represents a huge amount of work. What would make me ubelievably happy would be for you to do two things:

1. Encourage friends and others to subscribe to the Tips — by email, RSS feed or just by visiting the Mac Tips website. Please bookmark the Tips on sites such as Delicious or Reddit, add posts to Digg, mention us on Facebook… But remember, don’t spam anyone.
2. Donate some time or money to a charity of your own choosing. You don’t need to tell me about it (but it encourages me more than I can say when I do hear about it). I currently favour a site called Kiva: you lend money to entrepreneurs in impoverished countries where even a $25 loan can change a life. Entrepreneurs use the loan to build their business, letting them send their kids to school or just pay for basic living costs.

I always welcome suggestions for Tips and am open to guest writers too.

I’m changing the look of the Tips Archive. Things may be a bit strange for a while …

Update: things are pretty much done now. There are a couple of features I haven’t yet enabled, but the Tips Archive now sports shiny new header images, a new layout, slimmed down sidebars, a new poll, and some updated information. Let me know if you have any comments — add your remarks to the comments for this post.

I’d like to spread the reach of MacTips.

Please tell others about the Tips: Digg them, add them to Delicious or other social bookmarking sites, blog about them, and maybe even join our newly formed Facebook group.
