The jingle craze seems to be catching on! I thought I would let everyone know that you can subscribe to tomlany.net. This is a great way to be the first to know about the latest tunes without having to visit the homepage.
Thanks for your support!

I attended the Associated Collegiate Press Best of Midwest journalism conference in Minneapolis this past weekend along with four other members of The Weekly staff.
It was interesting. There were a lot of sessions on new media, relevant to what I do.
At the conference, publications were given the opportunity to submit their work in a convention contest. I am excited to note that The Weekly received a fifth place award for its website. See the complete contest results.
Thank you to everyone who has submitted story ideas, commented on the site, written articles, or otherwise helped in the process. We appreciate your contributions.
I should also note that Gustavus was recently recognized by collegesurfing.com as being a top social media institution.

The T-T-T-T-TOMLANY jingle that plays when you hop on this site has been amazingly popular, so I decided to add a jingle section on this website. I have just recorded the first jingle.
I also bought a new domain to make it easier for people to remember how to get to the jingle part of my site. Just go to http://jingletom.com/ and you will be redirected automatically!
I hope you enjoy the new feature; but let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas!

Why sit at your computer pushing the ‘refresh’ button all day, when you can instead take advantage of the exciting new subscription options that automatically notify you of new content from tomlany.net?
I just setup an E-mail feed service. Just enter your E-mail address, verify it, and you will receive an E-mail every day there are new posts.
While I have had an RSS feed for ages, for the first time today, the feed now includes images from my posts. Just add it to your live bookmarks or feed reader, and you are set.
I am also on Twitter (@tomlany) and tweet my posts. Follow me for the latest news.
These are three great ways to stay up to date! Let me know if you have any other ideas, or suggestions.

My blog is four years old today. I just wanted to pause to say, Happy Birthday, blog!

When you visit the tomlany.net homepage, you should now hear my theme sound in the background, added at the request of some newspaper staffers. I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think.

Welcome to the tomlany.net blog! After being dormant since June of 2007, I decided to bring the blog back! I have used simple xhtml/css/php to manage my site over the past couple of years. Unfortunately, this process does not make it easy to “quick share thoughts”. As a result, my site was not updated very often, and was in many ways very stale. I decided that a Wordpress implementation would make it easier for me to share things on a regular basis. I am working to create a template which will allow me to manage my entire site through the Wordpress system.
Let me know if you have any suggestions, and welcome back to this formerly discontinued feature!
