The purpose of the ECMPS Beta Testing Web site is to provide testers and other stakeholders a central place to find information about ECMPS Beta testing. This Blog, which is associated with the Web site, is a way to make that information more accessible.

The first way is to enter your email address in the box on the left panel and then click the Subscribe button. The other way is to click here.

The email update service allows people to subscribe to this blog in order to receive emails with the new posts added to the blog.

The subscription process involves two verification steps. The first occurs after the "Subscribe" button is clicked. A pop-up window appears. To complete the subscription request, you need to type in the alphanumeric characters shown in the pop-up window and click the "Confirm Subscription Request" button. An email is then sent to your email address. To complete the subscription process, you need to click on the link provided in the email. If you have problems subscribing, check the following items:

1. If you click on the "Subscribe" button and nothing appears to happen, check that your Web browser is not blocking pop-up windows. If it is, you will need to allow a pop-up window in order to view the subscription request confirmation window.

2. If you do not receive an email requesting that you activate your subscription request, check that your email will receive emails from confirmations@emailenfuego.net. This email address is used to send the verification email with the activation link. If emails from this address are blocked or put in the junk email folder, change your email to allow you to receive emails from this address.

If you think the email was put in your junk email folder, look for an email with the Subject of "Activate your Email Subscription to: ECMPS Beta Web Site". You can click on the link in the email to activate your subscription.

3. Once you have activated your your subscription, your email must receive emails from bounce-2147588@emailenfuego.net. This emails address is used to send the email updates. If emails from this address are blocked or put in the junk email folder, change your email to allow you to receive emails from this address.

If you still have questions about subscribing to receive the email updates, send an email to .

Following the problems with Feedblitz last week, the email service provider has been changed to Feedburner. The email updates supplied by Feedburner provide all of the same functionality as Feedblitz. In addition, the new email service allows the email templates to be modified to provide changes in formatting. The Feedburner emails are also a little cleaner without some of the unnecessary text of the former email templates. Finally, Feedburner is owned by the company that provides this blog, Blogger, which should mean better integration of services and less technical problems.

This change does affect people who have already signed up for email updates. For security reasons, you need to sign up using the new service. The process is the same. Simply provide your email address in the text box on the left side of this screen. Click the Subscribe button. On the next window, you will verify your request to subscribe. Finally, you will be sent an email in which there is a link you must click on to confirm your subscription.

The Feedblitz service has been cancelled. That means that your email address has been deleted from their database, and you will not receive any more emails from Feedblitz.

We apologize for the inconvenience. However, we think that this is a move to a better email update service provider.

Feedblitz has announced that their technical difficulties have been resolved. That means that the sign up for email updates is again available.

To sign up to receive email updates when this Blog is updated, simply enter your email address in the text box on the left panel, and click the Subscribe button. A new browser window will open. In that window, you will need to type in some text to prevent span, and click the Subscribe Me button. You will receive an email with a link. Click the link to confirm your subscription.

This morning, we learned that people have had problems signing up to receive the email updates.

As of 10:30 AM EDT, Feedblitz, which is the third-party service that provides email updates from the ECMPS Beta Blog, continues to experience technical problems. The technical problems are preventing people from signing up to receive the email updates.

Feedblitz indicated that the problems will be resolved within several hours. A post will be added to the Blog, after the problem has been resolved and people are once again able to sign up for the email update. We apologize for the inconvenience.
