Celebrating 500 Posts!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of the readers of this site, especially those that have written in with questions and comments. This site was launched in April, 2005 with the simple goals of answering hair loss questions and educating people about hair restoration– and while the blog has achieved great success in helping people, the growth it has received in just over 6 months is beyond what I had imagined.

A few new things worth pointing out:

1. Upgraded search. Now that there are over 500 posts here, finding what you want in the search could get a little tiresome. The updated search feature (in the top right of every page on this site) allows you to find what you’re looking for much faster than before. If you haven’t used the search feature before, I’d recommend that you give it a try, so that you can find the answers to your hair loss questions. If you HAVE used the search before, I hope that you find that the changes are for the better.
2. RSS feeds. Syndicated news feeds are a great way to get the latest headlines from BaldingBlog, without actually having to visit the site multiple times a day. Yahoo, MSN, Google, and many other sites are supporting these RSS news feeds, and it is definitely a great way to keep up to date. To find out more about RSS, please read here for a brief tutorial. It really is far easier than it may sound. In fact, there are links on the right column of this site (under “Syndication”) to make it easy to add BaldingBlog to your My Yahoo or My MSN pages.
3. Subscribe to comments. Now when you make a comment to a page, there is a checkbox to give you the option to subscribe to the comments. When someone posts another comment in that same blog entry, you will be notified via email. Please remember, the comment form under each blog posting should be used for discussing that individual blog entry. Unique questions should still be sent by using the Contact page, of which I usually will send you an email when your question is answered on the site.

I sincerely hope you’ve enjoyed the site thus far, and please remember that this site is updated every weekday with more hair loss questions and answers. If you’ve sent me a question that hasn’t appeared on this site yet, it will be posted as soon as possible. I’d love your feedback on potential new feature ideas for this site, or your thoughts on things that can be improved upon.

Once again, thank you for visiting.
