	Hi everyone,&lt;br /&gt;
	You may have noticed in the meeting minutes from the beginning of the month that the target release for Episode 4 was last weekend. You may also have noticed that that didn't happen.In order to release episodes, we need people to submit segments, and that hasn't been happening. &lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	If you would like any help recording, selecting a topic, or with anything else, please either come to the in-person recording meeting next weekend (event to be posted shortly) or email info@skeptographers.com and we'll be happy to help you out.&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	Cheers,&lt;br /&gt;
	Marion&lt;/p&gt;

    <body>&lt;p&gt;Hi Everyone,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So you may have been wondering, "Where&#8217;s this Episode 2 that I was promised? Marion mentioned it on &lt;a href="http://skepticallyspeaking.com/"&gt;Skeptically Speaking&lt;/a&gt; last week." We&#8217;ve been having some issues with the website behind the scenes and were working on sorting them out first. However, it&#8217;s looking to take a little longer than planned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a temporary solution, and to prove to you that we actually &lt;i&gt;did&lt;/i&gt; make a second episode, you can log in and access it here:&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.skeptographers.com/segments/64"&gt;http://www.skeptographers.com/segments/64&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also, if you have any ideas for or questions about the Skeptographers, please email me at &lt;a href="mailto:marion@skeptographers.com"&gt;marion@skeptographers.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt; Episode 2 will be popping online tomorrow (Thursday, September 10). Check back soon!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cheers,&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Marion &amp; the Skeptographers Production Team&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <body>&lt;p&gt;Good morning,&lt;br&gt;
We just wanted to pass along some quick notes about the updated navigation bar and dashboard that went live tonight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new navigation bar (seen once logged in) will further be expanded to include other shortcuts and information as those new features become available. As of right now, it is mostly a cosmetic update, though a few segment related shortcuts were added in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The dashboard also got a facelift as part of this update. It will now group your active segments by those requiring action or those pending review. It also includes information on expiry dates, but that feature isn't being enforced yet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the right hand side of the dashboard the &lt;b&gt;New and Notable&lt;/b&gt; section is also starting to show more information, though this area still isn't as 'smart' as we plan on making it. In the future the dashboard will get better at listing segments that have been recently flagged/voted/commented on, revised, etc. and list &lt;i&gt;why&lt;/i&gt; it is being shown on this list. Right now this section is mostly being generated by the 'last update' time on a segments which often does not take the previously listed factors in to consideration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Skeptographer Production Team would also like to take this opportunity to welcome all of the new website members who've signed up this week and to thank the few hundred of you who have downloaded our pilot episodes so far.&lt;/p&gt;</body>

&lt;p&gt;A number of usability features will be released in the next few days. Please subscribe to this news feed to find out about the latest features and improvements to the site.&lt;/p&gt;

    <body> &lt;p&gt;As many of you attending TAM7 may have noticed, the (non-free) internet at Southpoint was rather hit-or-miss in terms of reliability. This cut in to our productivity quite substantially and as such we've decided to take a day or two more to open up the new user registration. Most of the work left is just a little bit of cleanup of some the older material that we have left over the private beta phase. After some housecleaning we should be good to go. Oh, and if you really want a login &lt;i&gt;now&lt;/i&gt; just ask &lt;a href='http://twitter.com/home/?status=Hey+%40Skeptographers+may+I+get+an+invite+code+for+the+podcast+website+please?'&gt;@Skeptographers&lt;/a&gt; for a private invite using Twitter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Update:&lt;/b&gt; Registration was opened to the public since this post first went up.
&lt;/p&gt;</body>

    <body>                        &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hello Skeptics and TAM7 Attendees,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
                        Welcome to The Skeptographers website. We're now online, visible to the public, and in possession of a pilot episode. Many of the Skeptographers (and the production team) are at TAM7 in Las Vegas. There's still a little bit of last minute work to do (such as adding the RSS feed), so you'll be seeing new features and information on the website throughout the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
                        &lt;p&gt;So, why do you care that The Skeptogaphers exists? We're hoping to provide the worldwide skeptical community with an opportunity to participate in a regularly released podcast as much, or as little as they wish. Instead of just listening the same group of podcast hosts every week, we want to give you a chance to get involved with the Skeptical Podcast community too.&lt;/p&gt;
                        &lt;p&gt;Do you not have the time for your own podcast, but want to get your voice out there? Are you new to podcasting? Do you just want to write segments for someone else to record, or record segments that someone else wrote? Perhaps you perform skeptical-themed music or comedy? Or maybe you'd just want to help review segments before they get approved. The Skeptographers will give community members many ways to get involved.&lt;/p&gt;
                        &lt;p&gt;Have a look around, and if you have any questions that we didn't answer, please email &lt;a href='mailto:info@skeptographers.com'&gt;info@skeptographers.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
