Feedback needed regarding newsletter and word of the week feature.
I'm glad to have so many newsletter subscribers, but I get almost no feedback, and our logs show that an average of about 6 people will use the article link. So, I really don't know what if anything you folks find useful. I'm willing to continue with the word of the week feature, but it takes a lot of time, and quite frankly, as far as I can tell - it isn't useful to anyone. So, please, contact me by replying to this email or via the forum (http://forums.bellaonline.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=418) or the site (http://middleeasternculture.bellaonline.com) and let me know what, if anything would make this newsletter useful to you.

Thanks,

Julie
