New Email Delivery Method for BeeLine

I write BeeLine on a Blogger platform that is supplied and supported by Google.

Google, through its FeedBurner affiliate, also provided a service whereby readers could receive my blog posts via email subscription or RSS feed.

Google recently announced that FeedBurner would no longer support email subscriptions and RSS feeds for any blogs as of July, 2021.

I researched a number of options and concluded that follow.it  (https://follow.it/) had the best combination of services to support BeeLine as well as providing my readers a convenient method of continuing to receive each new blog post into their mailbox as they are published.

https://follow.it/

If you are an email subscriber to BeeLine you should receive today's blog post through the traditional service (Feedburner) and from the new service (follow.it) as all current, valid and confirmed email addresses have been converted over. This duplication will only occur once.

After today, the traditional Feedburner will be discontinued and you will only receive BeeLine emails facilitated by follow.it

If you are not a subscriber or did not receive a follow.it email of this blog post, you can go to the upper right hand corner of the blog website (https://beelineblogger.blogspot.com/) and subscribe.

(This is not available on the phone version of the website unless you scroll down to the bottom of the most recent blog post and click on "View web version".)

You will get a email asking you to confirm your subscription within a minute of signing up. Make sure that you confirm that you want the subscription. If you do not receive the email, check your spam folder.

The new follow.it email service gives subscribers more flexibility on a number of dimensions.

One example is it provides you the ability to set the delivery time that you would like to receive your email and it also makes it easier to share BeeLine content with others.

You can do this by clicking on the "Share" button at the end of the email which allows you to share BeeLine's content easily with others in a number of ways.

Thank you for your support of BeeLine.

All of my readership is generally attributed to word-of-mouth recommendations from my readers.

BeeLine readership continues to expand. All of that growth is organic. I don't actively promote or advertise this blog. New readers almost always come from one of you passing it along to someone else.

If you enjoy BeeLine, please pass a recommendation on to your friends and family. I enjoy writing it but it is a lot easier to sit down, research and write when I know more are reading my blog. 

We are in a time when it is difficult to separate facts from narrative. I remain committed to providing you with facts and data to allow you to put the things you hear in the proper context to make up your own mind about what to believe...and what not to believe.

I sincerely appreciate your interest and trust that the new email delivery system will allow more readers to enjoy and share my research insights on the issues of the day.
