All For One And One For All
Or maybe just "all or one."
After we added a list of articles to our detail pages (More Detail), we were asked why we couldn't do the same thing in the nightly BlogMail. We can, and now we have! Now you can elect to get summaries of all the new articles that have been posted since we last sent you blogmail, instead of just the latest. To enable this feature, go to the options section of the account page and set "Articles to Show" to "All New". You can go back to receiving only the one latest summary by choosing "Only Latest."
A few caveats:
- You must be receiving the HTML-formatted BlogMail to be able to get article summaries.
- Some blogs don't provide dates for individual articles. In that case, we will continue sending only the latest article.
- Some blogs don't provide the data on the individual articles (in tech speak: no RSS) and we will keep showing only a link to those blog.
Hope you enjoy the new feature. Please keep those suggestions coming -- we always are interested in knowing about ways we can improve the service for you.

Pump up your account
Now you can subscribe to multiple blogs in just a few seconds using our new bulk import page! Subscribe to as many blogs as you like in two quick steps -- upload a subscription list and then pick which blogs on the list to subscribe to.
You have many options for making the list.
- Upload a file to Blogarithm, and we will find all the web addresses in it. It works with any file: Word, Excel, saved web pages. Try it with anything!
- Give us a web page, and we'll find all the link in it. For example, you can subscribe to the top 100 RSS feeds in just a few seconds.
- Type or paste in a list of addresses, and we'll create a subscription list from what you type in.
What if you don't have a Blogarithm account? Now you can create one without needing to make a subscription first, using the new account creation page. Make an account, set up your password, and you are all set to import blogs!

View BlogMail online
We occasionally get email from customers who have not received their BlogMail properly for one reason or another. Sometimes it is caught in a spam filter, sometimes we didn't detect a change properly, sometimes it just went missing in the ether. Whatever the reason, missing BlogMail is annoying, so we've created a feature to help deal with it.
At the top of your account page is a new "Account Status" section. It shows the date and time we last sent you email and gives you the ability to see your last email in a web page or to resend it to yourself. If you ever have a question about where your BlogMail is, you can check here and not have to send us an email and wait for a reply. Of course, if you still don't receive it, please contact us at support@blogarithm.com.

More detail
We've added article excerpts to our blog detail pages, similar to the ones we send out in the nightly blogmail. Some examples:
