Friday Q&A: How to Subscribe

Q: Could you sign me up to receive updates by email?

A: We actually get this question quite frequently. Although we have instructions for subscribing to the blog on our How to Subscribe page, the blog's new way of showing the pages in a drop-down list instead of tabs (Google surprised us by making that change) means that some people don't realize the page is there. So in today's post, I'm going to provide the same instructions you can always find on the How to Subscribe page. (Please note that when you subscribe, you're signing up for an outside service, not an email list that we maintain ourselves, so we have no control over when and/or how often the updates are sent to you.)

In general, you can subscribe to blogs by email, RSS, or, if you are a Google member, by becoming a Google follower. Instructions for all three methods follow below. If you are on Facebook, you can also follow us there, and get links to the post of the day, as well as other links and information. Simply like the Yoga for Healthy Aging page!

1. To subscribe by email or RSS, hover your mouse over the dock at the upper-right of the home page (the thin black rectangle): 

When you see the icons, move your mouse over the Connection icon until you see the word "Subscribe" and then click. This opens a Subscribe box that gives you options for email or RSS feed delivery.

To sign up for email, enter your email address in the box and click the Submit button. This will open a window that asks you to enter text to prove you're not a robot:

Enter the text and click the Complete Subscription Request Button. This will open a window accepting your request for an email subscription and telling you to expect an email that you must use to verify your request.

When you receive the email requesting confirmation, please confirm by clicking the link or you will not successfully subscribe to the blog. If you don’t see the email within 24 hours, check your junk mail folder.

If you have trouble subscribing by email and want help, email me at nina@wanderingmind.com and I'll sign you up. After I sign you up, I'll send you a message telling you how to confirm your subscription (the confirmation process is one that I can't turn off).

For RSS feed delivery, choose your feed destination and follow the instructions from there.

2. To become a Google follower, hover your mouse over the dock (the thin black rectangle) on the upper-right side of the blog:

Move your mouse onto the Followers icon until you see the word "Followers" and then click. This opens the Google Followers box, which includes a "Join this site" button.

Click the Join this site button and follow the instructions from there.
