Receiving emails about your capsule

After I launched the new version of my capsule last Saturday, I received two emails! One person was responding to a question I put forth in a gemlog entry, and another person just said they liked the format. Knowing that people read what you are writing is a nice feeling.

Both of the emails were just a few sentences and a signature. I'm used to thinking about email as a medium for multi-paragraph communications, with an introduction, a body, and a conclusion... I myself have only emailed people about content on their capsules a few times, but I definitely felt the pressure to make it a "proper" email. Maybe seeing these examples will help me email more informally. :-)

While writing this entry I also realized that I had failed to put my email address on any pages of the new Web site, except for the security.txt file. So I added a mailto: link to each Gemlog entry, and to many of the other pages (like the categories of the idea box). The capsule is small right now so it wasn't much work. But if I make improvements to the software behind the capsule, making it easier to edit the footers is the first priority.
