It just got easier to have your way with Tyee articles. We've installed some new tools that make it simpler to share your favourite articles with your friends and wired social circles.

Say, for example, you read an article you think your local member of parliament would really enjoy, like maybe last week's piece on the growing homelessness problem in Victoria. Simply click the "email" button at the top of the article, or at the bottom of the piece in the yellow banner under the author bio, and use the form to send the article to as many MPs as you see fit. Simply separate their addresses with a semi-colon.

If you think the story would appeal to a broader audience, you might choose to post it to a social networking site like Reddit, Digg, Stumbleupon or Delicious. Simply click the "share" button at the top of the article, or choose the site you want at the bottom of the piece in the yellow banner under the author bio. And if you've got a Facebook account (where we're sure you're careful not to disclose too much personal information), click the Facebook link to post the article directly to your page for your friends to peruse.

Finally, our new e-newsletter sign-up form at the bottom of each article makes it top of mind to sign up for our free daily or weekly headlines every time you read a story. Of course, if you prefer to use an RSS feed, the link is right there too.

So please tool around, and let us know what you think. If you've got any feedback about the new tools, post a comment after this story. And feel free to forward this to your favourite MPs so they can do the same.
