Ask Linda #107-group subscription

Dear Linda,
Is there a way that we could sign up our entire ladies' golf group to receive your e-mails without putting in each address individually? Love your posts! Lulu

Dear Lulu,

I'm afraid not. The company that runs the blog site wants to be certain that everyone who signs up does so intentionally; that's why they send a confirmation e-mail after receiving a subscription request. Most companies work this way. Otherwise, people could sign their friends up to receive subscriptions they may not want. It protects everyone from unwanted e-mails, which is a good thing in my book!

If some of the ladies in your group are confused about how to sign up, you can take the first step for them. Simply visit my blog (www.lindamillergolf.blogspot.com), click on "Subscribe to Ask Linda: Golf Rules You Can Understand by E-mail" in the upper right corner, copy and paste each player's e-mail address (one at a time) on the line provided, type in the letters they ask for to prevent spam, and click on "Complete Subscription Request." You will have to notify your players to expect a confirmation e-mail from "FeedBurner E-mail Subscriptions," and tell them that they will have to click on a link in the message to activate the subscription.

Glad to hear that you are enjoying my posts and want to share them with your entire group.

Linda
