TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR FEEDBURNER!

 

Hi blogging friends~

You that know me know that I am an

ABSOLUTE IDIOT

when it comes to techy stuff with

my blog.

Anyway,  I told my friend, Linda,

Life & Linda Blog,

My Fairy Blog Mother,

that I would post something here for those of you

that need help like I did!

She will help you change your 

mail over from feedburner

to use an alternate FREE service/MailChimp.

I did this 

so that my followers could follow me

(straight to the crazyhouse).

Linda switched me over to 

Mailchimp because, 

I know y'all don't want to miss my

heartfelt, crazy, funny, endearing posts.

This is the sidebar subscribe widget she designed for me.

She will also design the email campaign that y'all

 receive.  Linda always matches your blog.

So, click on the links and pop over

and ask for help.

There is a very reasonable fee if she does the 

switch for you, but trust me,

you won't have to take out a loan,

and she will walk you through whatever

you have to do for the set up.

Here is what I know-

IMPORTANT!

Linda has found a way to remove your address from your Email campaigns.

Also feel free to use an old address, an P.O. box.

Feedburner in July will not be sending out your email, so you have to switch to something so your readers won't miss out on your new posts.

Linda from Life and Linda- also My Fairy Blog Mother has been transferring bloggers over to the FREE Mailchimp email marketing for a fee.  Mailchimp is free for up to 2,000 subscribers. Mailchimp is the most popular marketing program and Linda knows all the ins-and-outs of it.  It was so worth it to pay her a very reasonable fee to make the switch over.

She has also provided a link to a Mailchimp video tutorial for those who wish to make the transition themselves. AND GOOD LUCK WITH THAT -Maybe YOU can figure it out---

I didn't because I am lazy, dumb, camping.

Linda wrote a tutorial for those using Feedburner on how to export your subscribers using the CSV format.  You will need that if you using another email marketing service.

While you are in your Feedburner account, you will want to pay attention to some subscribers mostly with the Outlook.com email.  Those are usually spammers.

She had to lead me through the process

to even check into my Feedburner account.

Yep- I am that un-techy.

No, I am not leaving Blogger!

Just switched to Mailchimp for your email updates.

So--while y'all are doing that,

Scruffy and I will be walking through

the quiet woods of the campground,

sitting around a campfire 

and scaring off anything that looks 

remotely like wildlife-

including the grill.  It

has a black cover on it and apparently

looks like a black bear.

It has been barked into submission

so we're good!

This is how the men in my life

like to lay around

in the camper when they are tired.

At least the two-legged ones

wear pants---usually~

Have a wonderful week

and reach out to Linda for help!

You'll be glad you did!!
