Get Meandering Blog E-mail Updates!

While the "old" way of e-mailing you updates to the Meandering blog, including the weekly hike previews, was at least temporarily busted (Dick Jordan may have gotten Google to fix it), you can take action to make sure that those updates are sent to you by e-mail.

First, go to the blog, and then scroll down the right-hand side until you see the "Follow by Email" box. Enter your e-mail address and hit the "Submit" button.

You should then get an e-mail from Blogger or Feedburner asking you to confirm your subscription.  Be sure to confirm your subscription you won't receive the updates.

Several Meanderers have subscribed using this method. If you've done so recently and have been receiving bloh updates via e-mail, you need not subscribe again.

Any update to the Meandering blog will be e-mailed to you sometime between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on the day it was posted.

However, you may receive the e-mails much later in the day, depending on how your Internet Service Provider processes in-coming e-mails, and how often you check your e-mail inbox.

Hike previews are generally posted sometime between Wednesday and Sunday of the week before the hike.

If, as happens occasionally, Dick posts to the blog more than once on a single day, you should get a single e-mail with multiple blog posts included in it.

If Google resolves the problem with the old mailing list and you start receiving the updates twice, you should be able to "Unsubscribe" from the ones you've been receiving because you subscribed by entering your e-mail in the "Follow by Email" box on the blog.
