Update For Email Subscribers

In April, 2021 Google announced that the Feedburner service (that has been automatically generating emails about this blog) would be discontinued in July 2021.


I have been researching alternatives to FeedBurner and reviewing the two options that would be best for my subscribers: migrate all current subscribers OR request that subscribers sign up all over again?

I have chosen the email subscription service offered by follow.it. I chose follow.it because:

  • it is committed to no email SPAM
  • the basic level of subscription is 100% free for both emails and RSS readers
  • it's a mature operation and not a start-up
  • it takes the EU GDPR seriously - unclear about applicability for Canadian privacy/data protection
  • it offers choice to the follower re what their preference is for how they want to follow
  • N.B. above points originally appeared on blog Making A Mark  along with several other recommendations

If you were a previous subscriber, 

please subscribe again using the 

"Follow by email" form on the right.

 Please let me know if you have any problems and thank you for your patience
