lol, Don't get a big head Scotty. Oh wait, too late... ;)

Lol, too funny!

Here I am hearing about another plugin lol. I think maybe that is the way I should go.

I've read quite a few posts about auto responders but at the moment don't feel I'm ready or need to join any The plugin does what I need it to do for now. I can see who is subscribing, I can send a bulk email anytime and set it to send automatic emails.
The only tricky bit for me was working out how to add it to my widget sidebar but the WA community came to the rescue as usual! :)

That is great! It also sound like just what I need. And I LOVE widgets lol. They make things so easy. :)

Hi, Kathy! Thank you for the recommendation. I chose Email Subscribers, and it seems to be just the ticket! So, anyone interested, please feel free to check out the site and subscribe if you'd like to!

Glad you got it sorted. :)

I haven't added one yet.... I don't know how! I got kinda panicky when the reader asked me. Where do I find how-to here???

I haven't seen the 'how to' here but you will need to join an email list building site or add a plugin. I first added http://www.mailpoet.com/ through plugins but now I am with www.aweber.com You join their site and can add plugins after for various things to do with Newsletter subscriptions. They will have training too to help you learn how to create your first email list, add subscribe boxes to your site via widgets and HTML codes and send out blogs and marketing campaigns. Don't panic, you have help. If you get stuck let me know and I will help as much as I can. I figure adding an RSS sign up box would be adding a widget/plugin to your side bar and you would configre it to send out blog post to your list. Hope this can help.

Thank you, abigail! I got kind of panicky today, feeling like if I didn't make a new keyword-rich post about a current news item, AND set up a mailing list and RSS feed I'd be sunk. It's pretty exciting when a random web user finds your site! Second time now!

Yes, I can relate. I needed a little break too and I had not written a blog post for a week. Sometimes we just need to recharge the batteries with some quality 'me' time to allow new inspiration to flow. Totally exciting when we see our site ranking well, hehe. I know you are going to grow stronger and stronger through every challenge. You are a success. :)))

THANKS! I don't know how the person found me....but, I guess from rankings? I haven't test-driven the keywords or that post yet.....

However they found you, it's awesome! Someone left a comment on one of my posts saying they found it through Yahoo. It might have been the rankings for sure for your post. Looks like what you are doing is working. :)))

LOL!!!
