Email Subscription Service SUSPENDED until further notice

The end of the subscription service?

This is a very sad day.

I'm afraid I'm having to suspend the email subscription service - where you get an email every time I publish a new blog post.

I've spent hours and hours on trying to find a way to address the issues thrown up by

• Google changing arrangements re sending large amounts emails from gmail addresses - and have not succeeded. 
• Mailerlite changing its systems in relation to this - and because they're updating their system

The main issue arises because Making A Mark is not on a domain name I own but rather remains on the blogspot.domain owned by Google

There again, I've got the exact same issues with my Botanical Art and Artists - which is on my own website

I started looking at other blogs using blogger who I know have or have had large numbers of susbribers - and discovered that they too have terminated their email subscriptions. So it looks as if we're all in the same boat

The conclusion I've come to is that:

• I will highlight latest blog posts on:
• Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/makingamark2/ - as I always do already
• Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/makingamark2/
• Twitter / X - https://twitter.com/makingamark2
• I will reintroduce the email subscription service when I can find a suitable solution. It may need to be a paid service - although I expect the payment would be minimal.

So this looks like it's the last blog post to be emailed out - possibly for some time - and maybe forever.
