* Some Capitol Fax subscribers and newspaper editors in my column distribution syndicate have called lately about not getting their e-mails. Check your spam folder, please. I send a ton of e-mails every day in bulk, so lots of filters misinterpret this as spam. 99.99 percent of the time I get these calls, the missing e-mails are in spam folders.

* I get a call almost every day about how to find blog posts that aren’t on the front page. There are a few ways of finding these. You can use the “search,” or you can scroll down to the bottom of the posts and click the “previous posts” link, or you can just look in that gray box on the right side of the page which has the headlines. The bottom two links in that box will take you to either yesterday’s blog posts or posts from two days ago.

* On a completely different topic, this memo was sent out to Chicago Tribune reporters today…

I am pleased to announce that Eric Krol will join us as an assistant metro editor on Sept. 17. Eric comes to us from the Daily Herald where he has been a respected competitor as their lead political writer. He joined the Herald in 1994 after interning with us in Springfield through the University of Illinois/Springfield Public Affairs Reporting (PAR) program. Eric will work closely with political editor Jim Webb on coordinating our political coverage for both the newspaper and online.

Congrats to Eric!

* Since we’re on that topic, I neglected to mention that Abdon Pallasch is the Sun-Times’ new political writer. He replaces Scott Fornek, who got a big promotion to political editor. A hearty congrats to both.

* Also, what’s up with the Daily Herald putting their political bloggy type thing on “hiatus“?

* My YouTube page now has regularly updated videos from Congressional and Illinois legislative campaigns.

* We’ve raised several hundred dollars for Sojourn House at our store, but we could always use more, so get on over there and buy something now. I’ll be presenting a check soon. By the way, I messed up at the beginning and didn’t jack up the retail price nearly enough, so I’ll be adding to the final total out of my own pocket.
