Having been out of the blogging game for so many years, I feel like I am so far behind. For instance, I didn’t know that Feedburner (owned by Google) had discontinued sending emails until a nice lady at Follow.it emailed me to tell me and offered to help. So, now we have a new blog feed email servicer!
Disclosure: Follow.it has a free option that is available to everyone, but they offered me a $10 account credit to link to them in a post.
Feedburner Replacement
I had used Feedburner ever since I started blogging way back in 2009 on a free Blogger site! So, I was shocked to learn that Google is essentially leaving the service behind by terminating its feed email subscription service. I wanted to continue offering a way for people to receive my feed in their inboxes as I hope at least some of my old subscribers stay with me. I also didn’t want to pay a bunch of money to move the almost 1,000 emails from the old feed.
Thankfully, Follow.it stepped in as a Feedburner alternative with a free option! So, the nice people at the company helped me get an account set up last week. Then, they moved all of the confirmed email addresses to their site this morning. That means if you were previously signed up for Laughing Lindsay emails, your new emails will look a little different. Additionally, this new blog feed email servicer comes with some other options to receive my posts, beyond just emails! So, you can sign up to receive my feed wherever is most convenient for you!
I’m excited to introduce my readers to this new service and hope we like it. If you are receiving this in your inbox, I hope will stay subscribed for my future tips and adventures!
