YANA E-LETTERS

In September 2011 I decided to experiment to sending out an E-Letter to YANA Members - mainly to tell them that I had decided to close the Survivors Stories section of the site. I thought this would be a good way to keep in touch, especially if they migrated their stories to the myProstate Site.

It turned out that i had apparently undervalued the Survivors Stories section, so instead of closing that section down, I started to find a way of making it smarter to reduce my load - and to give the site a greater chance of surviving me when I "go up the chimney".

Here is an index to the E-Letters to date:
