Alas Feedburner is coming to an end..but was it really great?I tried following the steps to redirect the Follow Me By Email only to discover so many spam addresses..
After losing 90% of my photos on my blog..this just seems like a headache I can live without.
I am so sorry..I apologize..I know followers will fall by the wayside as they did when follow me with whatever disappeared (I forget) Oh Google plus I think..that mess..
This is the same thing..
So I am removing follow me by email..those of you that wish to follow me though Bloglovin (And that's not foolproof) please do.
I would hate to lose people I have grown fond of in my neighbourhood:)
Or Instagram..I could be followed on Instagram w/ a link to my blog..it's there..
Again..my sincere apologies.
But many of my still in contact friends don't visit blogs anymore..
I really just did this to have a journal lol..longest journal ever.
And then I met such nice and gracious people.:)
SO..
I've been painting my Paris Peeps.. baking and gardening..
My little life..
Other things too but you don't want to hear about my Bella car being backed in to while it was at my mechanic's for a fix..:(
Or other similar platitudes lol..
But the bright side is first vaccination all the adults here..walking around the gardens..feeling the sun on my face..
Take care.. hope to see you on the other side of follow by email unless I find a great one and will add again..
PS
I have added a new follow me by email..JUST NOW..not yesterday's lol sorry sorry...
I have also saved my subscribers list from Feedburner..only the active ones and deleted the spam..there are many.It took a couple of hours..
because you had to delete unverified or spam.
Thanks for your patience!
♥
PPSS I chose Mail Chimp as per https://www.lifeandlinda.com/
You may remember Linda when she re-installed my sidebar capabilities and header when everything disappeared..she worked tirelessly getting some of my pics back.
She's a fabulous web designer!
Again thanks for your patience!!
I am entering as anonymous as I don't know how to put in just my first name without giving my last name. Thankyou so much for your lovely posts. I so look forward to them. They have been a bright spot in a very bleak year. I am so glad that you have gotten the first of your vaccination shots. I have gotten both of mine. Hopefully we will soon see some degree of normalcy, but I am going to still wear a mask everywhere, unless outside and 6 feet apart. You are so creative and so talented. I wish I lived next door so I may be lucky enough to taste some of your creations. With the nice weather you will be able to see more of your lovely family. someday in the next few years I hope to get to Quebec city, it is on my wish list. After being alone for a year, it will be nice to get out and see smiles on peoples faces again. Know that many people are getting much joy from your posts. Have a great day.....Sue from the US
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad this is nice for you as I enjoy having this place:)I hope you don't follow through Feedburner:)I will look into alternatives..I'm not ready to stop.This pandemic was hard on everyone..and the company of all of you was a great help!
DeleteI don't mind that you are not writing your name..I now have comment moderation..and I see you're nice:) Have a good day..news is better..!
I follow you through Bloglovin. Love your paintings.
ReplyDeleteOh great Penny and thank you!!
DeleteI follow you through feedly. I've never had a problem getting your posts. I have the free account & follow all of my blogs this way.
ReplyDeleteI,m going to look into Feedly!THank you!
DeleteHi there, I know a good Feedburner alternative - follow.it! Please have a look here why we're a great alternative: https://follow.it/blog/feedburner-stops-email-services-switch-to-follow-it-now/. The switching process is very quick and we are always happy to help you :)
ReplyDeleteHi Karolina.. my friend Susan recommended it but switching the existing accounts seems quite hard as so many are spam accounts!I never knew..I will look into it and thank you!!
DeleteI will always follow you...I do that for many years now...I really like your blog and recepis....love from meRia 🍀💕🍀
ReplyDeleteYou have always been a light:)♥
Deletexoxo
Monique, I had Linda change it over for me, but alas, I wonder how many of the emails are really those who come to read my blog. I welcome all my friends this "neighborhood" has introduced me to. As with you, good friendships were spawned all those years ago. I've even connected with a friend on IG who was an avid follower on my blog years ago, and I her blog. Who know?
ReplyDeleteIt is a joy to see your gardens, your Paris people, and all the beautiful goodies you prepare. I'm sorry to read about your car. 😥
Enjoy your walks in the garden. 👍🏻 on the vaccine!
Such a stupid pain this feedburner stopping lol I am THE complainer in technology.
DeleteI am soo patient..but technology not working the way IIIIIIII want is a pain.
I did what I was supposed to do w/ feedburner and I will look again but even J could not believe all the spam accounts..Linda saw some and agreed..I'll see what I can do..I'd love Feedly but we cant add it as a gadget?Who knows..
I'm not Bill Gates.But you knew that:):)xx
I'm not very bright when it comes to new technology, but I will find a way to follow you. Your blogs are an inspiration, and I don't want to miss out! I always look forward to seeing your paintings, what you're cooking or baking, and updates on you and your family. Very thankful to hear that the vaccinations are available for you! We are beginning to see remarkable drops in Covid cases and hospitalizations. Many places have dropped the mask requirements, but when I am out and about, I wear mine. It will take some time for me to feel comfortable without my masks. Best wishes to you!
ReplyDeleteSame here Pam:) WE will continue to wear masks once double vaccinated too in certain circumstances..there is a lightening of restrictions..Hopefull all the Littles(big) will be able to have us in their backyard for their birthdays.. definitely not lunch out and shopping with us again this year tho..Too bad..I loved that.2 are so much taller than me now..
DeleteThank you for visiting and I hope you can find a way..I think if you check every once in a while you will find me:) Take care!
Your friends will always find a way to follow you. ♥ I love Mr. Prickly, Petals and all of of your paintings and sketches! Those bee cakes are so adorable with the little bee tidbit attached. Nordic Ware pans are the best and they even put a honeycomb on the bottom!
ReplyDeleteYou and I have been in this together from the get go..and we will continue.
DeleteI think continuation is important for relationships and we do that:)
You are such a steady presence in my life♥
I have so enjoyed all of your blog posts! I will miss them in my inbox.
ReplyDeleteI will give Bloglovin a try and hope to receive your posts there.
I hope it works! If not come back..I'll try and figure something out for sure:)I'll try and thank you!
DeleteI follow you through the google reader thing (you know,the thing with all the pix on the sidebar?). I'm going to hire Linda to switch me to Mailchimp but I have to download the material to send to her first. You know I'm not going ANYWHERE!
ReplyDeleteAdoring the sweet bee cakes and your Paris people, of course, and those beautiful images of roses. I'm glad all are one vax down and hopefully feeling a wee bit lighter! (And I want to hear about Bella car. To me, blogging is hearing the good and bad, like in-person friends do!) But I hope it's not too horrible and soon to be fixed. By the mechanic. At no cost!
Well I know how to do te transfer..I think..But I havee ap 1600 names..on FB..anperhaps 75 are legit.
DeleteThere is no way I can figure how to transfer only 75..all the others have to be deleted..ONE BY ONE.
Can you imagine?
And you can't just delete and carry on..you delete and a pop up comes up..are you sure you want to delete? So it's double...
My car needed a repair..I dropped it off at lunch..at 4.30 I got a call a woman had backed into it..so my car's been there for 1 week not fixed yet.. today I hope..but then insurance etc has to kick in and it has to got to a body shop.I was told..weeks:(The mechanic doesnt do body work..
I love driving Bella..10 yrs of a small car has spoiled me.I don't even want to go near J's.lol.God forbid...if something happened.Thanks Jeanie..
As usual I have been putting it off since they said the end was JULY. Is it sooner?
ReplyDeleteYOU CAN NOT STOP PLEASE M!!!
Follow.it approached me last week which makes me suspicious.
Is this a way for Blogger to get rid of us? I notice the Are YouA Robot not longer is there?!
Always something isnt there?
Love your ‘backs’ so much. Soon you’ll be able to go shoot yr own backs :))
Read my answer to Jeanie above..go see your Feedburner subcribers as explained.. I have under 100 I think that are legit..theother 1500 are outlook spams.Go figure..I live in a small small town..I can't take backs lol.. never enough people on the street at any given time..and withCovid..even worse.But I love my town♥
DeleteOld fashioned though it may be, I simply have your blog bookmarked and I take a peek every other day to see if you have posted. We who follow you will find a way!
ReplyDeleteI love this.Perfect and thank you:)So kind!
Deleteoh Monique, I hope your car is ok. There's such a lot about blogging I still don't understand, I didn't really understand feedburner! I also have your blog bookmarked and will visit every few days :-)
ReplyDeleteThe car thing has turned into ..well something I never expected..:(But it's a car..just a car.
Deletex
Great..I am going to try and find an easy email subcription thingy lol..that's how much I know;)
I am so sorry (and so sorry for me).... I will figure out how to do bloglovin or whatever to find you since I don't know a thing about blog (little bit instagram so there's hope if all else fails)...(I'll ask my kids) You have brought me so much joy, light and delicious recipes!...
ReplyDelete" I will follow you, follow you wherever you may go.... there isn't an ocean too deep....a mountain so high... (I know you know this one).... "
Oh Suzanne..I'm sorry for the people who care to come and visit..I'll try and find a different follow me by email.I want it easy for you:) And me..
DeleteI love your words..MADE my day.x
I love your blog Monique and will always find a way to keep following you! :) xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteOf course you know I am happy to hear that♥I added that follow me top right.It works in case you need something;)
DeleteHave a great day♥
I do have bloglovin, but not sure how many of my followers follow me on bloglovin and how many follow on the feedburner. What a pain in the arse this all is, lol. I hate change and struggle to keep up with it! As you know I love ALL of your wee people paintings and think you need to do a book with them and their stories in it. I think it would be a best seller. Your mail, your cakes, your blooms, all beautiful! Like others, I have always just followed you by checking in periodically to see if you have written anything new. That will not change. I am following you for life! Have a beautiful week. I am sure that you will. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI have Bloglovin too..but checked Feedburner..at first I was shocked at the spam addresses..you have many tutorials on how to etyour email subscription list I hope my way worked..
DeleteYou see..when my list came up..interspersed in the true email addies..were hundreds of spam..you can tell right away..as it appears like 10 times..same name or similar and ALL OUTLOOK ..which surprised me..and it seemd to be emebedded within the alphabet..so you have to delete ALL those.. ALL and you have to delete all unverifieds..then I made a list..copied and pasted in Mail Chimp..I could do t in Follow It..so I joined both but Mail Chimp it is..for now..
we will see..it's not a quick fix..well it wasn't for me..
You're not allowed to bring the spam or unverified addresses.
Oh me too you..follow forever;)
Thanks Monique for the shout out. I always available to help Bloggers. I agree, Feedburner has lots of spam emails. I have found the best way is to export the whole list into Mailchimp and then sort them out. You can click numerous links and then delete or archive them. Much easier than one by one. The spam emails do have .outlook.com address with long weird names. I have moved over about 8 bloggers to Mailchimp.The best part is mailchimp is free for up to 2,000 subscribers. Thanks again and happy blogging.
ReplyDeleteI think I finally figured it out..lol we will see..Probably losing subscribers..with all this..It's the party no one want to get invited to at this point:)
DeleteYou're so KIND.And Smart.
