Exercise and Fitness Blog

Tonight I posted my first run in the new website since it went live. I’ve been so busy launching the new site that I didn’t have time to run very much. The run was beautiful! I live on the outskirts of Boise near farms and horse ranches. I ran a three mile route that had a perfect view of a brilliant sunset and went past a golf course and a sod farm and a couple of horse ranches.

I sent the first e-mail out today announcing the new Maintain Fit website. The technology I used to send the e-mail is an open source application written in PHP. If you don’t know what PHP is, don’t worry too much. One frustration was that in the final import of my mail list from the website accounts, the First and Last Names were left off. As it turns out everyone got and e-mail entitled “Dear First Name Last Name,” (that is, if it wasn’t sent to the junk folder). Sorry about that! I have identified the problem and corrected it for future e-mails.

I’m sure interested in hearing what you all think about the new site. I’m sure the next batch of changes based on your feedback will be much improved.
