« Passion Review | Main | Who Really Killed Jesus » February 26, 2004What To Do, What To DoMy blog is hosted by Verve Hosting (who, by the way, are extremely responsive on technical-support requests), and the plan I bought includes the ability to create up to 40 email addresses that end in @billhobbs.com. Now, clearly, I don't need 40 email addresses. I am using one account, bill-at-billhobbs.com, and figure I ought to reserve 14 more in case I want to create email addresses for members of my family or create such email addresses as newstips-at-billhobbs.com, etc., and Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do with the other 25 accounts? Comments
I'll take one! Posted by: Bill in GA at February 26, 2004 2:16 PMBill, do what I do and create throwaway addresses whenever asked for an email address on the web: blog comments, site registration, online purchases, etc. (Just like I've done for posting this comment.) I never give out my real email address on the Web. The spammers will get it sooner or later, or you'll start getting viruses, as happened to me last week. Because I use a different email address for each blog, I knew where it had come from. Posted by: Les Jones at February 26, 2004 3:31 PMSell them to spammers?

That way if someone clicks on the advertisers site there will be a way of tracking the contact. The best thing about Verve is their tech support. "Extremely responsive" is an understatement. As for the email addresses: you'll probably want a private one that you don't publish, for at some point, if your blog continues to increase in popularity, you won't be able to keep up with your mail. Having a private one just for friends will help. Posted by: Dean Esmay at February 27, 2004 2:58 AMPost a comment
