Best of the Month July 2015

A recap of my most popular posts from last month (July 2015).

In all of my blog updates, I forgot to mention that I set up my subscribe by email campaign in MailChimp back in April.  I never thought I would set up any kind of email subscribe option.  It's just not the way I prefer to follow blogs.  I much prefer social media as a way to follow my favorite blogs, but I started reading about how other bloggers thought email subscriber was better.  I still follow my favorite blogs on social media and I don't subscribe by email (I just don't like having my mail inbox cluttered--I follow many blogs) but, I decided it was a good idea to give my followers the option.  MailChimp made the process quick and easy.

In January, I came across a post by Ashley from My Craftily Ever After about How to Set Up Your RSS Feed with MailChimp.  This post introduced me to MailChimp and was a big help when I finally decided to set up weekly email updates.  Now I have 19 followers by email.  I know that's not a lot, but I really didn't expect any so I'm happy.  I get an email each time someone subscribes and it's always a pleasant surprise.  If you would like to subscribe to my weekly email updates enter your email address below.
