The-J-List helps you keep track of what's happening each day.
You may have noticed the new RSS feed on the top left corner of this page.
The-J-List has been revived from slumber, given a tune-up and slowly getting up to speed. The site is a clean, easy-to-read compendium of event listings.
“the-j-list.com was born out of our craving for a single, consolidated source to stay in touch with what was going on in the arts and entertainment world in Jackson,” the site explains.
Now it’s even easier to list your Halloween bashes, gallery openings, literary lectures and other happenings when you’re looking to draw a crowd beyond your Facebook friends. And it’s free.
The site was created by Web gurus Jeremy Hopple, Clay Preheim and Clint Troxel back in 2006. They recently enhanced the application to give users greater freedom in listing events. (Use Textism for additional flourish.)
“The only way this is going to work is if the community contributes,” says Hopple. He adds that The-J-List was written with open-source code, meaning programmers are welcome to contribute to the application.

And, let’s not forget Charlotte Smail (http://csmail.tumblr.com/) – a Jackson local turned computer science student who committed lots of good changes to The-J-List open source project this past summer.
She’s the one who put the RSS stuff together.
