New site: archonusers.blogspot.com!

I've been trying to figure out a way to streamline our communication methods and the best way seems to be using a blog-type site. So, this is our new site!   The old site now has directions guiding people to this new site. The List of Archon Users is still the same link and lists the same institutions as the old site.

Communication There are a few more names on our mailing list. Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way for us to communicate/spread news rather than 50 emails in the To: field? Unfortunately the site we built in Google Sites doesn't allow for a blog with RSS/Subscription type features. I would love any suggestions or thoughts you have on this, on- or off- list. I was wondering if Constant Contact or something would be helpful, but personally I know my Google Mail tends to filter those types of things into a "Forums" or "Updates" type mail box and it skips my inbox... I was also thinking Google Groups, but not all work institutions and/or Google Apps institutions have access to that and it can restrict people on
