JusJoJan24 the 19th – Tenaciousness pays off

15 Comments

This post is part of Just Jot it January, and today’s prompt is courtesy of Cheryl. Check out her blog here!

I did it! I managed to authenticate my email address without breaking my blog!

It took a lot of determination and more than a little confusion over all those acronyms, but it is done.

You see, Google and Yahoo are changing what they’ll accept and what they’re going to send to spam in regards to email addresses with endings that aren’t from Google (@gmail dot com) or Yahoo (@yahoo, etc.). So there was a good chance that a great majority of the lovely people who subscribe to my newsletter wouldn’t get it after February 1st, since my email address is linda@lindaghill.com.

All this to say the job had to be done.

And I did it!

This celebratory post is part of Just Jot it January! Want to join in? Just click here to get to the prompt and drop your link. It’s fun!

Much appreciation once again to Cheryl for the prompt!

    I’d not heard about this. It’ll cause problems for something like 50% of UK people who still use the BT email address. I have got the other ones, but I never use them… so they are a complete dumping ground for spam anyway!

    Congratulations! I have to watch my spam folder so closely….because it’s not real bright! People I’ve chatted with for years and are in my contacts, suddenly are going to spam. Its frustrating, but at least I’ve been keeping it cleared out!
