Email Subscriptions

2 February 2010

I’ve received a couple of emails about problems with subscribing to taxgirl via email. I’ve checked into it and it appears that some folks aren’t verifying their subscriptions after they subscribe.

Feed the World

29 September 2008

Thanks for all of your emails asking me what the heck was going on with my feed… It’s a long, crazy story but the short version, more or less, is that my feeds crossed when I switched server. And the result is that many of you got double taxgirl feeds – or feeds with my [...]
