Mid-Month: Feb 2024

Welcome to our newest regular installment here on Reclaim the Blog... the Mid-Month!

This collection of announcements and reminders was originally something we emailed directly to our Managed Hosting and Domain of One's Own admin users in the middle of the month to share some more regular updates than what you typically get in our full-bodied Reclaim Roundup at the end of the month.

Now that we have this blog space, however, we thought, "Hey, why not consolidate?"

So we'll be posting that Mid-Month newsletter right here every month to keep everyone up-to-date on the various goings-on, and make it easy for you to come back and reference these updates without scouring through your inbox.

📣 Announcements

A Reclaim Case Study

We're starting to publish what we're calling Case Studies, where we highlight something we think is outstanding and/or exciting in our community!

Social card for Reclaim's Bulk Shared Hosting case study.

Our first Case Study featured a long-time Bulk Shared Hosting user, Suzanne Norman, from Simon Fraser University, who shared with us how this service has impacted SFU's publishing curriculum.

You can check out this case study and future ones right here on Reclaim The Blog!
