Meandering Blog E-Mail Woes

During today’s (January 4) Pine Mountain hike, Dick discovered that at least some of the Tuesday Meanderers are still not getting e-mail updates when new information is posted to the Meandering blog. We’ve got our Meandering IT Department (shown at left) working hard to resolve this problem.

When Dick next writes the next post (after this one) to the blog, he’ll send out a separate e-mail asking you to indicate whether you received it.  However, the best way to insure that you get the blog updates is to go to the blog and take one of the following actions:

1. If you use an RSS news reader such as Google Reader, My Yahoo, or Netvibes, go to “Subscribe To This Blog Via RSS” on the right-hand side of the blog, click on “Posts” and select your RSS reader.  (“Comments” are rarely posted, but you can subscribe to those, too, if you wish).  You may have to go to your RSS reader and click on “Add Content” to insert the blog’s RSS feed or display it.
   
2. Otherwise, go to the E-mail Subscription Box just below the RSS subscription area, enter your e-mail address, and hit “Subscribe.”  This will open up an “E-mail Subscription Request” from Feedburner in a new window in your Web browser.  Type the text displayed in red in the box at the bottom of the form, then click on the “Complete Subscription Request” button.  You’ll probably get an e-mail from Feedburner asking you to click on a link to activate your subscription.  Once you’ve done that, you’ll get blog posts e-mailed to you.
