My audience is thrilled at the news
You will no doubt have noticed, dear reader, the appearance of a glossy new widget in the right-hand column of this blog (and indeed a similar one on my other blog Dolores Delargo Towers: Museum of Camp).
Let me explain...
The gnomes at Google (and somehow you just knew it would be their doing) have been tinkering about with things again. For many years, my myriad loyal acolytes have had the option to not only add me to their "Reading List" within Blogger itself, but also the opportunity to receive a regular dose of the madness I publish in their inbox by clicking "Follow by Email" as well. This service used to be provided by an odd little site called "Feedburner", which Google apparently (like YouTube, Maps and Blogger and so forth) owns, but never listed as one of its "apps". Now, 14 years in, they have decided to "improve" it.
"Improve", as is so often the case with such things, actually means "remove the functionality that emails people" - rendering it somewhat useless to me and to many others. So I went searching and, prompted by a sales pitch email from them which (for once) I did not send to "Junk", found a replacement (also free) service called Follow.It. Hurrah!
The people at Follow.It were very helpful in getting both "feeds" set up - it certainly isn't difficult to do - and assured me that the subscriber end of things is very simple too (although I'll need to wait till I find a site that I want to follow by email before I can have any opinion on that). So if you are already a subscriber you should from now on receive an email from Follow.it rather than Feedburner (or Blogger) notifying you of this post having been published. Hopefully not too many such notifications will go to "Junk"...
Enough "techie stuff". On with the show! - with a most appropriate choon:
