Hello Clayarters,

To any who follow my clayart posts, here is a "Tiny" Url to copy and
paste into e-mails and browsers:

http://tinyclick.com/?nelclay

You can check this idea out for yourself at the Tiny Apps web site:
.

It's great for sending really long urls to friends by e-mail. I don't
know if there are any catches, such as getting put on e-mail spam lists,
but I filter my mail at the server using a free program called
Mailwasher." (It's great not to have to download spam and viruses and
then have to deal with them on my own computer!)

Also, I love being able to preview text in the Mailwasher window. If
it's mail I don't need to keep, I can delete it from the server after
reading it, without downloading the entire post. (I do that, for
instance, with notifications from Clayart that my post to the list has
been received. I like to know this, but I don't keep such
notifications.)

Another feature is that I can click hyperlinks to web pages from there,
if I care to.

There is more, but if you're interested, find out for yourself at:

PS: the long url for the link to all my posts would be:
.

PPS: I wish there were a way to list them in reverse, but I haven't
found a way.

PPS: Here's a link for just the January posts, just for fun:
.

PPPS: However, for real searchability, use Bill Amsterlaw's "nell"
page:
.

PPPPS: More soon on Bill Amsterlaw's work on links to my surfing posts
and to the Clayarters' Urls pages, in a separate post.
