A very full edition of News & Notes with all sorts of links and goodies is coming shortly. Separately, some housekeeping here as the new year brings changes to our operation here at Daily Crossword Links.
Due to policy changes at Gmail and Yahoo as well as other factors, we will soon only send emails through WordPress. If you currently receive DCL posts from donotreply@wordpress.com with our site logo in the email, nothing will change for you. If you receive DCL posts with no images in the email, visit our Subscribe page (or sidebar widget) to stay active. The timeline is uncertain, but a quick visit to the Subscribe page will ensure no gaps in email delivery. You can always visit the site directly at dailycrosswordlinks.com to view all posts.
We’ve added a weekly highlights post, a small list of DCL-staff curated puzzle recommendations from the previous week. As the daily emails grow longer, we want to uplift puzzles we enjoyed that maybe you missed or wouldn’t otherwise solve. It’s not meant to be a “best of” list, but something similar to the recommendations you might see scattered around your local bookstore. We publish these highlights each Friday evening, in time for the weekend.
For the first time, we have a public page outlining how to get your puzzles included on the list and what to expect. There are no recent changes to our policies or procedures, other than making them public.
Lastly, we have added a page with donation information for readers interested in contributing to the site. This labor of love has grown substantially in sophistication and team size from its founding four years ago, and contributions will offset operational costs and allow me to better honor the time, skill, and care of our volunteers. We gratefully welcome donations of any size. The daily posts, News & Notes bulletins, and the weekly highlights posts will always remain free.
A robust News & Notes is on its way, hopefully tonight, maybe tomorrow. Thanks for reading.
