Searching
You can search the database of Quickbits on the Quickbit
home page. Just enter a search string and click the
"Search" button. You will see a display of the
latest entries that contain your search words. If you
cannot find anything, try different search words.
Signing up
You can signup to receive the
Quickbits in a weekly email. You will receive the emails on
Friday mornings. When signing up, provide your email
address, and the format for the emails. The best format is
HTML, but if your email software cannot display HTML
messages, then signup to receive Text messages. If you are
not sure, signup as HTML, and if you receive garbled
messages you can go back and change this option. You can
send us an email to switch you to text format.
Signing off
If you decide that you do not want to receive the Quickbit
emails any more, you can signoff at any time. The link to
signoff is at the bottom of the emails you receive. Click on
the link, and click on the "Remove Me" button on
the page. You will be removed from the mailing list. You may
also send an email to Quickbits@rotary5340.org
and request to be removed from our mailing list.
Submissions
The District Leadership can submit new entries to be added
to the next mailing. To submit an entry, go to the submission
page. The deadline for new entries is Thursday at noon.
If you submit an entry before the deadline, it will be
included in the next Quickbit email, the following Friday
morning. If you miss the deadline, it will be sent the
following week.
Submissions must follow the Rotary guidelines from
the Manual of Procedure, or they will be removed before they
are sent out. Clubs cannot solicit
other clubs in the District for help or money.
You can however publish a Quickbit with the basic
information about a club event, and a web address or phone
number to get more information. Please limit your
submissions to major club events, and do not make more than
2 submissions for the same club event, or more than 2 or 3
club events
per year.
PLEASE
DO NOT TYPE YOUR ENTRIES IN UPPER CASES, THIS IS LIKE
SHOUTING!!!
Submissions Fields
When submitting a new entry, you must fill all the necessary
fields. Fill in your name and email address so that users
know who submitted the entry, and can contact you if they
have any questions. Be very explicit with the Quickbit
"title". Users will browse the content of the
email and the title must be able to catch their attention if
they are interested. Be succinct and straight to the point
in the main text of the Quickbit. Use full sentences and
avoid telegraphic style, it will be easier to read. Give a URL for users to go
and get more information. If you do not have a web page to
provide more information, add at the end of the main text an
email address or phone number where they can get more
information.
Please do not
include advertisement in your submission, even for events
sponsors. These will be removed.
Updates
If you want to update a submission before it is sent out,
send an email to Quickbits@rotary5340.org
with the relevant information.
