If you're a long-time reader of this blog (THANKS!) or brand new to this site (THANKS!), then you may have signed up to receive my newsletter delivered directly to your inbox.  I've always used Feedburner to provide this service, but over the last few months, I've become increasingly disturbed by the problems they seem to keep having and the utter lack of communication on their part in when these issues will be fixed.

I've had numerous folks tell me that they have repeatedly tried to subscribe, though never receive a confirmation email from Feedburner which seals the deal and actually puts them on the list.  I've also had many long-time subscribers tell me that they haven't received a newsletter from me in months.  This is simply unacceptable and so it was time to find a new player in the game.

I'm happy to say that yesterday I made the official switch to a new email newsletter company and am happy with the results I've seen so far.  There are obviously going to be a few bumps along the road, but I hope that you will be patient with me as I make the transition from Feedburner to the new newsletter program.  Many of you have already received a request to confirm your subscription and that's because I added your address to the new program and must have your permission to subscribe you here.

Over the next few days, you may receive a newsletter from the new program as well as a Feedburner newsletter.  Feel free to unsubscribe from Feedburner, for I will be completely turning that off as soon as everyone has made the move.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  Thanks again for choosing to be part of the new newsletter program.  You are my most valuable readers and I appreciate you so much!
