The latest FF&W E-List mailing has gone out (late last night in the U.S.). I got a few bounces back my way, so if you didn’t get the mailing, you may want to double-check your address in your original subscribe emails (and check your junk folder, too). If you need to update your profile, you [...]

Had a little snag there (as in no one could order on-line, not even me). Until that gets fixed properly (hoping it’s just a day for the fulfillment center to fix things), I’m pulling that post. I’ll re-post once I know that things are running more like they should. Apologies to those readers who tried [...]

After seeing how the previous Shareaholic plug-in worked here at FF&W, I decided to switch over to Share This. The new plug-in seems to work better for me (in terms of how it presents in Twitter), and takes up less visual space in the post. In addition, it is more obvious as a “share/tweet” service [...]

I’ve had a few people asking if they had missed any E-List mailings this summer. No, but I’ve missed one (or two). Sorry about that (to say things were busy this summer would be a monumental understatement). I have the October mailing on tap for later this week, and it will have some educational goodies, [...]

Fired up the Shareaholic plug-in for Facebook and Twitter… Give it a try, Simon (and anyone else)! Update: Going to give this plug-in a trial period to see how it goes. May adjust how/where it appears, etc., and see if it turns out to be permanently useful for FF&W or not. Any feedback from Facebook/Twitter [...]

Just updated the blog with a couple of new behind-the-scenes plug-ins. All seems to have gone as it should, but if anyone gets odd behavior with the Categories and Links areas over there on the right, let me know. Thanks!

Yes, it’s gone. 157MB of files off to the press this morning. And with that, I’m going fishing…

This is the last week to order a copy of the first edition of  Nature of Fly Casting directly from me. After September 1, 2010, the book will no longer be available through FF&W (though there will still be some copies lurking out there on Amazon and in shops and so forth). The book will not [...]

FF&W Tees are in short supply right now, but I’ll be re-ordering this coming week. On tap will be the usual spread, plus the long-sold-out 3XL size. If you want the coastal green tee with the trout on it, now would be a good time to order (if your size is in stock), since I’ll [...]

Just a quick note if you have ordered a Nature of Fly Casting book and have not yet received an e-invoice for it. All orders that I have received have been invoiced via PayPal’s system, which allows for payment with a major credit card or PayPal account. If your e-mail system has a highly aggressive [...]

Just backed up the FF&W database, as well as the main theme, and then hit “upgrade.” The 3.0 version of WordPress is now running here and hopefully everything will continue without a hitch. I’ll have a look through things, but if something is really messed up for anyone, let me know. No water-time for me [...]

I have three things to do this weekend: Get some water-time, do about 3298479857454 book illustrations, and finish the May/June 2010 E-List (not necessarily in that order). I’ll be sleeping between the hours of 2 and 4 in the morning. So, for those of you on the E-List, look for something in your in-boxes on [...]

Yes, it’s coming soon! With some educational goodies (including a Fishing the Film book excerpt) and a “tax-break” give-away of a Nature of Fly Casting book or FF&W tee (winner’s choice). I fully realize that March/April could pretty soon be April/May, so I’m aiming to have it out by the weekend. Update: The E-List mailing [...]

Starting this week, MidCurrent.com is collaborating with Jeff Kennedy and me to provide the Drawing Flies 52 fly art (sometimes with additional text) to MC e-newsletter subscribers. MidCurrent began the collaboration with the Flashback PT from January 28th, and will be going week-to-week from there. If you want some more info on the flies, and [...]
