Email Subscription Option

Some months ago (actually, over a year ago: https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2021/04/some-things.html and https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2021/06/beef-brisket-on-smoker.html), I posted that the tool I used to allow folks to follow the blog by receiving emails was going away. It was supposed to go away by July, 2021. It actually went away in August, 2022 (one time when I was thankful someone didn't meet their promised date!). I didn't actually notice, but a friend contacted me, and I subsequently notified everyone who had subscribed in the past that they could access the blog by going to it directly via its URL (https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/), that the emails had stopped.

Meanwhile, I started looking for an alternative solution, and I think I've found one. I've added a "gadget" on the right side of the page on the web and you can put your email address in. The tool that is enabling you to get emails when I post is "follow.it". If you put your email into the field on the right side of the website, you will get a confirmation message from follow.it that you'll need to respond to so it knows you have given a valid address. You should then get an email each time (or almost every time) I publish a new entry with the contents of the post (in my testing, it is not sending an 100% of the time).

So, if you want to follow the blog by email, this will give you the opportunity to do so. Or you can always just visit the blog (at https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/) whenever you want to see what we're up to!
