“Following” is Lame. Get Your E-mail Update Today!

Kate pointed out that she subscribed as a ‘Follower’ to my blog but wasn’t getting e-mail updates to my blog.  This was my fault since I said you would get an e-mail update if you subscribed as a Follower to my blog.  This was my understanding of ‘Following’ a blog.  I guess I understood wrong.  Being a Follower means you only get an update if you use a feed reader. Most people I know don’t use these so becoming a Follower doesn’t do much for most people.  Long story short, I figured out how you can receive an email when I create a new post.  Unfortunately, it requires a new subscription process but here are the step-by-step procedures to subscribe to my blog.

  1. Enter your email address in the empty field on the right hand side of my blog where it says, “Enter your email address to get an email when I create a new post:”
  2. You should get a pop-up (make sure it wasn’t blocked with your pop-up blocker) that asks you to enter in a verification code.
  3. You should get an e-mail asking you to confirm your activation.  Just click the link inside the e-mail and you should be good to go.

There you go.  It’s pretty easy and you should start receiving updates immediately.  Sorry for those who have already started following me and haven’t gotten any updates.
