I’ve mentioned before that you can get automatic emails from this blog so you don’t need to come back and check it everyday. A few people have asked us how we’re emailing you each time our posts go up.
We’re using a couple of features of Google Groups and Blogger to accomplish this ‘email newsletter’ of sorts. First, we set up an announcement-only Google Group by specifying a name, email address, and short description. You can set up a Google Group here. Next, we used the blogsend feature of Blogger, which allows you to automatically send posts to one email address. The email address we send it to is the Google Group email address we created. And voila, anyone who subscribes to the Google Group automatically receives an email.
We also got some code from the Google Group site so that everyone can subscribe to the group from this blog. Check it out on the bottom right-hand side of this page.
