i am still on a learning curve with the blog but in the process of setting it up i opted to have a newsletter signup option – see sidebar on right hand side. what i plan to do is to send a newsletter once a month maximum which will land in your email. it will have links to articles that month and a bit of personal news. i have just written the first one for january which is here to give you the idea of the sort of thing. i have used the most basic option to lay it out but it seems to have sent ok! i will get tips from friends in due course i am sure. the easiest way to sign up is to click subscribe from that january newsletter page or find the sign up to newsletter box on the right hand side. thank you!
