The Blog returns, with new features and a new face!

Many of you may have been wondering if this blog was still alive. I can’t say I blame you, if you did, given that the last post was months ago, but have no fear this IS a blog and I’m going to re-establish it as THE place to go for all things Yahoo! Mail.

But first I need to clarify a little. In an effort to totally dazzle you with misdirection, we thought it would be fun to try and replace the awesome work done, over the last year, by Ryan Kennedy with another Ryan…me. My name is Ryan Knight, and I’m the new Community Manager for Mail. That’s right, Yahoo! realized that the original Ryan had enough to do keeping up on his engineering responsibilities, and decided it was time to bring in another Ryan who could spend more time rustling up news for you. Don’t worry, Mr. Kennedy is still a Yahoo, and sends his best.

What that means to you is that this blog will be active again, and will be posted to on a regular basis. It will also cover all forms of mail, so even if you aren’t using Yahoo! Mail Beta, there will be stuff here for you too. Whether you are looking for news on feature changes, bug fixes, interviews with Yahoos working on Mail, tips from power users, tutorials, a glimpse behind the walls here at Yahoo!, or what have you, this is where you can go to find it.

I’m also excited to let you all know that there are some feature changes for the blog. You can find most of them in the sidebar to the —>. As you may have noticed we’ve added Categories, a Blogroll, a Recent Readers section (courtesy of our friends at MyBlogLog), and last but not least…enabling Comments. So have a look around, let us know what you think, and be sure to check back often.
