Well, the first newsletter came out last Thursday ~ phew!
I still haven’t found a way of attaching the sign-up button to my blog. (Anybody out there know how to do it? Or know if it can be done?)
And I think I may have mucked up with sending the newsletter to blog readers who wanted to be on the list. So, if you didn’t receive it, and would like to, you can click on the link; you should go to the sign-up form. (Let me know if there are any gremlins here.)
The next edition will be out on Thursday. Hurray!!

Thanks Meeks! It has made me appreciate all the work you have to do behind the scenes to do your publishing, and then to post about what you have done. Wow!

lol – it all takes effort but it’s worth it. How often do you plan to send out the newsletter?

Every fortnight. That seemed to be a doable time frame, other wise my life would have been consumed by newsletter writing rather than living!

You might even consider monthly as I can’t imagine it would be easy coming up with new stuff so regularly.

It may well end up being monthly; I will have to see, not only because of material, as you mention, but also because there are other things to do in life!

-grin- so true. I seem to have that thought every time the vacuuming needs to be done. 😀

Thanks for signing up, Kerry! It’s all the behind the scenes stuff that has been frustrating, things that should link up, but don’t seem to ~sigh~

I signed up today using your link but I didn’t receive an email confirmation. Are others receiving confirmation?

And thank you for this one too. I appreciate your research! I am annoyed that I may have to set up a Jotform account, to get it to work, but I am still looking into it all. Also, I am not sure that I want a pop-up sign-up form that pops up whenever the reader opens up the blog. I find them irritating, and I think others do to. Something to ponder!!
