Update on Site Updates
It was discovered earlier this week that the snippet of code that notifies registered visitors of new posts was causing problems after some changes to the site’s plumbing. To solve the problem, that snippet had to be deactivated. (NOTE: This problem does not affect those who’ve already subscribed to e-mail updates through FeedBurner.)
What does this mean for me?
The site will no longer send update notifications to your registered e-mail address.
Wow, that stinks. Is there anything I can do to find out when Bob writes a new post without having to visit the site every day?
Actually, yes! Frankly, it’s even better than the "old" (and now defunct) method–and you can easily set it up in less than 60 seconds.
- Scroll down to the bottom of any page on the site (including this one).
- Look for the link that says "Subscribe by Email" on the right-hand side. Click it.
- On the page that opens, enter your e-mail address and the verification code shown.
- You will receive a confirmation e-mail almost instantly (check your "spam" box if the message doesn’t show up). Click the link in that message and you will receive not only an update notice when Bob posts new content, but the entire post will be sent directly to you via e-mail.
Please accept my apologies for the extra hassle. Feel free to contact me if you have any problems with this procedure.
Thanks for your continued support of rlowery.com.
