How to Follow WITHOUT getting inundated with emails!
I’ve recently made a few changes to the layout of the Blog to help make it easy for my lazy friends to FOLLOW!
There is now a ‘Follow by Email’ option in the right hand menu. This means you don’t have to sign up to WordPress in order to follow this awesome blog lol.
Follow via email – no need to sign up
Once you enter your email address, you will get a confirmation email.
When you click on confirm, you will be taken to a screen where you can manage subscriptions:
Change settings to ‘Daily’ or ‘Weekly’
I strongly recommend that you change the delivery preferences to Daily or Weekly.
This will prevent you receiving an email every time I post…. sometimes i post many times in one day – I don’t want to fill your Inbox with clutter
Happy Gardening
Anthony
