~~a geeks journey through the internet~~
22 May
With my renewed effort to not only keep this site going, but also growing I have added a new way to subscribe to the content. While I know that most who read and follow along are getting it via an RSS feed, I also wanted to have the option to subscribe by email as well.
The email is actually nice, it comes in the form of a daily summary, which gives the previous days posts all in one nice email, so far it has been arriving early in the morning (EST), usually around 7am or 8am.
As for anyone interested in doing the same for your site, it was very, very easy to set up. It took longer to post the code in my sidebar than anything. And for anyone who has edited a theme should know, that is pretty simple.
I am using FeedBlitz for my list management, and the setup process was done using Feedburner, although you can also do it directly from them by visiting their site. If you are a Feedburner user the setup took just a few seconds, once logged into your account, click on the feed that you want the email list setup for and then from there just click on the “Publicize” tab, then on the left hand side click “Email Subscriptions.”
Once there, you will have a few options of service to choose from. Quick and easy! There were three total services to use, I first tried the Feedburner option to manage my list, but got an error, so just went to the next on the list (FeedBlitz), which turns out was a good choice.
Enjoy and feel free to “Subscribe By Email”
