THSP Blog Mile Markers

We here at the Teaching High School Psychology (THSP) Blog are rapidly approaching a number of milestones in the next few weeks. Since our humble beginnings nine months ago, the blog has continued to grow and expand in a number of measurable areas.

In the coming weeks we will reach:

• our 300th blog posting,
• our 200th person receiving the THSP Blog via email using the Feedburner program,
• having 50 people listed as followers of the blog and
  
• having an average of 10,000 hits per month.
  

Thanks to all of you for making the THSP Blog such a success. Thanks for visiting, sending suggestions and spreading the word to other psychology teachers. We, the moderators, could not have done it without your help.

Email Updates of the THSP Blog

Many teachers have told us their school system's web filtering systems block access to any type of blog, including educational ones such as ours. While some teachers have been able to get their technology departments to make an exception for the THSP blog address, many others have run into a big roadblock and can only access the blog from home. We might have an alternative for those who can't reach the blog for whatever reason.

Feedburner, a subsidiary of Google, provides a service where they will take daily blog entries and emailed them out to people. You can sign up for the email updates at http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=TeachingHighSchoolPsychology&loc=en_US or using the form box on the THSP blog site. You will then receive an early morning email containing all of the blog entries for the past twenty-four hours. On the postive side, many of you who currently have trouble getting access to the blog will be able to read the postings. On the negative side, you will still be unable to comment or read comments on the postings, search through past postings or use the side column on the blog. Please be aware, some email systems might treat the Feedburner email as SPAM and block it as well.

Again, to subscribe to the FeedBurner emails go to Subscribe to Teaching High School Psychology by Email If you have figured out a different way to solve this problem of access, please leave your solution in the comment section.
