InnerSelf News InnerSelf has been online since 1996 and has gone through several transitions. We are adding new features to the articles, an interactive community section, and a new store. The current website at InnerSelf.com has had some server crashes and some of the features are no longer working. Rather than trying to fix the old software, we have used our resources to bring you a new and improved site. InnerSelf.com will be rerouted to the new server once we have all the new features installed. We will keep this page updated as new features come online. (updated April 17th, 2007)   New Hardware: New servers. In the past we relied on one fast webserver that was upgraded every year or so. Lots of work and if it failed, InnerSelf.com was down. Now we have split the parts between webservers, database server, mail server. Now we can improve performance, as needed, by merely adding new servers to the web cluster.   WHAT NEW FEATURES are being considered? Website: Select your own template (choice of colors and widths) (not yet active) Easy "one button" access to change font size on website (not yet active) Article menu with more detailed categories (in progress) Listing of "most popular" articles (active) RSS feed to load into your browser news reader. Feature InnerSelf articles on your own website. (Active/Subscribe) Manage your subscription to the Daily Inspiration (active) There will be no obnoxious and deceptive 3rd party advertising. All advertising will be strictly controlled by InnerSelf :) (done) Google ads will continue. We have found their ads to be "content-related" and generally useful and unobstrusive. (active) New easy method to handle your donations (active ) The ability to advertise directly on InnerSelf and manage your account. Supervised of course. (not yet active) Newsletters: Newsletters and The Daily Inspiration are now delivered straight from the InnerSelf server rather than bounced from our local computers.

However, I have been receiving an undeliverable notice. Could you please advise. Thanks for your attention to this matter. November 01, 2007 Miss Desmond Clark said:   I agree with Norm. I sent an email just yesterday and it came back as "there is no such address in my system" - so with the mercury retrograde ending and possibly a heavy load of work I know it will be cleared up eventually! :- November 10, 2007 Kate said:   Hi there : I used to enjoy the daily inspirations, etc...
