​PREVIOUS SUBSCRIBERS via Feedburner and/or Mailerlite
  • you can resubscribe via the button up above
BACKGROUND - how we got where we are today!
  • Google terminated the free Feedburner Email Subscription service used by this website for the news blog from April 2015 to sometime in summer 2021.
  • The platform for sending out email news updates then became Mailerlite. 
  • Then in early 2024 Google prevented gmail addresses from sending out emails. 
  • 1 February 2024: Mailerlite has now been replaced by follow.it

I apologise for the adverts on follow.it  - but the options were:
  • no RSS feed to email subscription service at all.
  • Or I made it a paid service. 
I'm trying the follow.it option and await your feedback as to whether it does the job.

​This time I've not transferred all the subscribers while I wait to see whether the service works for everybody.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

You don't need to do anything to get the new version of the News Update ​ 
  • Your active email address has been imported from Feedburner (used April 2015 - July 2021) to Mailerlite - which is the new email subscription platform for this website, following Google's decision to stop free Feedburner email subscriptions.
  • (see image on this page of new mobile version of what the news updates will look like)​

Decide if you want to keep your subscription to the news blog
  • If you want to continue reading news updates, you don't need to do anything EXCEPT OPEN YOUR EMAILS or you may lose your subscription after 10 unopened emails (see NOTE 1. ) This is because I'm going to be charged for the number of subscribers and I want to limit the subscriber to active readers only. So if 
  • If you don't to read news updates any more, you can unsubscribe anytime using the UNSUBSCRIBE link at the bottom of the Mailerlite emails
​To STOP GETTING DUPLICATES from Feedburner (prior to them stopping for good in July/August):
  • use the unsubscribe link of the last Feedburner News Update on 29 July 2021 (see image below of this link at the bottom of news updates) to stop getting the Feedburner news updates prior to 29 July 2021. 
  • Otherwise you will get two emails for however long it takes for Google to stop sending Feedburner emails. They say email subscriptions stop in July/August 2021. Or just wait - and it will disappear in the near future
