Dear Author’s Subscription Form
I had a reader ask if she could get the blog posts in her email box. I searched around and found a plugin that allows subscribed readers to get each blog post as an email.
You can subscribe here.

Thank you Jane! One of the reasons I can’t comment as much as I like is that I miss the reviews I want to comment on. Information circulates very fast and the notification will really help with that.

This is great. I don’t always have time to come by the site during work hours but my email is always up so receiving an email blog helps keep me more updated.

For any readers who don’t know about the wonders of feed readers, we have a post about them on our blog. On the Mac side, “Mail,” the application that comes with the operating system, has a built-in feed reader, and my PC-using tell me that several web-based mail programs also allow for reading blog feeds.

Thanks Jane, that’s very cool. I’ll probably stick with the RSS reader for the most part, but if I’m away from home being able to switch to email would be a wonderful option.

One of the nice things about the plugin is that you can decide what categories you want sent to you. For example, if you don’t want the romance “news” pieces sent, you can uncheck the box next to it. It makes it nice and easy to manage the information you want sent from Dear Author.
I also set the email to send the entire post rather than just an excerpt.

Jane, it doesn’t seem to be working for me. I got the confirmation request and clicked on the link…but I’m still not getting the posts via email. Am I just technically inept?
