ZZ N&S Email Subscription Basics
First we would just like to say: Thank you for taking the time to register on our site either recently or anytime during our past four years of active publishing!
We thought we would take only a moment and update all of our registered users on our new Subscription Module. Many of you are not aware that we have added a more sophisticated eMail Subscription Feature which allows you to now opt-in or opt-out of eMail notifications from either a single topic category or multiple categories of newly posted articles at ZZ N&S. If you are receiving this eMail you are indeed a registered user and may already be getting eMail notifications but we felt you may prefer knowing about gaining more control over what you receive in your InTray from us here at ZZ N&S.
If for example you are only interested in Read the rest of this entry »
For our readers who have their own websites or blogs we thought we would share with you the scoop on this new web traffic service we are trying out here on ZZ N&S.
If you are interested in participating in a refreshing new approach to blog traffic exchange without having to surf yourself into oblivion to increase credits, you might seriously consider subscribing to this recent new traffic exchange service – BlogRush!
We have been trying it here and we are finding the underlying software very interesting and promising. The developers there have been busy creating a somewhat intelligent and interactive software network which adjusts to variations in the traffic within the network itself and targets like content sites.
Example Reporting
There is no surfing necessary by the blog owner or anyone else. A small widget is placed on your site, like the one above similar to the one in our margin to the right, which publishes links from new blog posts via RSS from the member network. The widgets send targeted catagory posts to network members. That’s the key! The links are targeted similar to the targeting in Google’s Adsense for content similar to that on your site. They have wonderful graphical reporting.
You can subscribe here if you are interested and it’s free. You will not be disappointed, it costs nothing, and you get instant increased site visits. It uses a set it and forget it approach that beats the other timed surfing sites which will go nameless. We have also found that if you couple it with membership in a RingSurf webring, like ZZ OpenRing, you end up with an amplified reinforcing affect. Just keep BOTH the ZZ OpenRing ring code and BlogRush widget visible at the top margins of your blog like we do here and the combined effect is maximized.
We thought we would pass this find along to you, our readers. Right now we can say it is an excellent system with zero maintenance. We recommend you give it a try. — ZZ N&S Staff /Scotty

Interested in becoming a contributing author here at ZZ N&S??
ZZ News and Satire is currently seeking additional writers and critics, especially from our current registered subscriber list. All your posts will reflect your username as the credited writer and author.
If you are interested in posting your own sarcastic view points of politics, cultural events, satire, cartoons or parody simply respond to this post in our comment area including a link to your site so we can first evaluate your work and political leaning. We tend to be right of center here but that’s not a show stopper. To post you must be registered as a subscriber. You’ll be able to cross post articles of yours including a link to your site if you are looking for some increased exposure to our regular circulation and traffic here.
I am already a registered reader… can I post here now??
For those of you who are already registered site members, if you are interested in writing a few posts, simply respond in our comment area and provide us your current user name with a request to be made a contributer. We will then change your status from Subscriber to Contributor. Give us a day or so to do this and we will notify you at the eMail address in your user profile. Then the next time you login at the link in the top right sidebar you will see additional access privileges that will let you compose a post and submit it to us for review. We keep all new contributors in a moderated status for awhile till we are sure you are legit with no evil intentions of spamming or going way over the top on us ala Jack Nicholson in The Shining. 
A few simple rules: No hate speech, profanity and racial bashing will be permitted here. (Unless you are citing a source 
) Certainly your run of the mill political debasement, mudslinging and animosity between political points of view are more than welcome here as long as its above the elementary school level of name calling.
What are we looking for ???
If you come across a news article, political or cultural parody, satire or political cartoon that moves you, simply submit a snipit of the article with your critique and comments on the article or the issue. We can add images for you if you like. One rule we will monitor is that you must BLOCKQUOTE any part of an article that you cut and paste and also do your best to cite the source with a link. Other than that, your own political opinion on the subject is most welcomed !!
Once you have been a Contributor for at least 5 posts or so…. and we feel comfortable with your work and you are not a spammer… we will move you to an Author level where you can publish without moderation. We do reserve the right however to edit or remove any post at our discretion if we believe it is too far over the top, even for our tastes!
