As Martha and Joy both stated, I post each major update to the mailing
list. If such material crosses borders to the neighboring county lists.
As a list host, I know how many subscribers there are. I encourage them to
post what they are searching for. Often other list members will chime in,
data or ideas on where to look are revealed. Some times brick walls are
scaled.

even if the list is not adoptable, consider joining the list. You can
post
what's happening on your site to that list to reach folks that have an
interest in your county.
Another list to consider joining is ND-SD-MN which is basically the MN
territory since all three states were once joined at the hip.

Since the beginning of my venture with USGenWeb and the advent of mailing
lists on Rootsweb, I've always tried to adopt or join the mailing list of
any county I have hosted.
I did this to announce I was the person hosting the county site for
xxGenWeb, to state what materials I had, to ask for contributions and often
to ask for transcribers or proofreaders.
Maintaining a mailing list isn't that hard, actually easier than
maintaining a web site.
While looking at the lists that were available for adoption I found the
following available for Minnesota. If you do decide to host your county's
list, have questions about how to do such, please let me know.
When the lists were originally set up they were the state abbreviation plus
the first 6 letters of the county name if there were more than 6 letters in
the county name.
MNBELTRA, MNBENTON, MNCARLTO, MNCHIPPE, MNCLEARW, MNCOTTON, MNDODGE,
MNDOUGLA, MNFILLMO, MNMARTIN, MNMILLEL, MNNORMAN, MNOLMSTE, MNPENNIN,
MNPINE, MNPIPEST, MNSHERBU, MNWABASH, MNWATONW.
