Updates to this web site

Velkommen til Stadsbygd og staværinger! This is a redesign of my website about Stadsbygd, Sør-Trøndelag, Norway and its people.  I'm incorporating the original information pages, linked at the left, into a new weblog format that will make future "newsy" updates easier to manage.

There are two ways to receive updates about the site.  One is to send me an email and request to be added to the mailing list.  You will receive an invitation from topica.com and will need to complete a free registration for their purposes.

The second way is to use a relatively new Internet technology called RSS ("really simple syndication").  It allows you to subscribe to news content (for example, the Trondheim newspaper, Adresseavisen, allows you to subscribe to many different "feeds" of their news stories.  For example, I subscribe to their news feed for Midt-Norge because that's where stories from Stadsbygd and Rissa appear and to their feed for stories about the Rosenborg Ballklub, Trondheim's soccer team.  Instead of visiting dozens of different web sites to see if something has changed, they just send me new stories and I view them from many web publishers in one place.  To use RSS, you need a news reader program (there are hundreds) or a web service.  A very good one that's free is Bloglines.  It takes just a couple of minutes to set up an account.  To subscribe to updates of this site, just add the address under "Syndicate this site (XML)" in the upper right corner of this page to your subscriptions.  If you're using Internet Explorer on a PC, right-click that link and use Copy Shortcut.

Mvh, Dennis

Hello Dennis,
as you will see my name is Fosten and the family have been doing research into the family history.I have found a reference on your site to the Fosten Portal.Could you tell me what this refers to.I have found some names in Norway with the surname Fosten dating from 1695 to 1795 could there be any connection? Thank you for any information.

Hello Dennis.
What a gigantic job you have done. This must be a treasure for Americans with roots in Trøndelag. I live in Trondheim, but have a lot of relatives from Rissa Municipality, mainly Sørvik, Dyrendal and Selven.
The webcam shows a shopping center in Rissa.
Good luck and godt nyttår til deg og alle "slektninger" i USA.
Vennlig hilsen Trond
