Too Much?

I had a subscriber write and ask me how to unsubscribe this morning. I thought an ‘unsubscribe’ button was automatically included on the blog website pages and certainly at the bottom of emails or texts people receive from me.

I found out that there wasn’t one on my blog that I could find, so I looked for one I could add. I couldn’t find one. That frustrated me. I then researched further, and found instructions to unsubscribe. They are –

Unsubscribe From a Blog

To stop following a blog’s updates, follow these steps:

  1. Click on Reader in the WordPress.com toolbar. (upper left on your screen)
  2. On the right side of the screen, click the “Manage” link next to your existing Subscriptions.
  3. Click the three dots next to the title of a specific blog you’re subscribed to.
  4. Choose “Unsubscribe“.

I did this, and found a LOT of things to which I’VE subscribed in the past, and some I didn’t even remember. I’m going to clean those out this morning.

I have had others contact me over the years, and I can go to my list, find their name or email address or website, and delete them. No muss, no fuss. This isn’t possible when I don’t have any of that information, as was the case this morning.

I realize that I write a lot. Sometimes I have to cut myself off because my intention is NOT to bury you in emails on your computer or messages on your phone. Every person’s definition of ‘too much’ is different and I respect that.

If you would like to unsubscribe, 1) comment to a post on the blog and I’ll handle it if I have your information, 2) follow the directions on this post, or 3) you can always email me at lindawlewis1@gmail.com and ask me to help.

Sorry I can’t seem to find information on adding an unsubscribe button.
