Recently I’ve gotten a couple of very nice emails asking about the same thing: “You seem to be publishing more posts lately. I signed up to ‘Never Miss a Thing’ and get notified of new ones because I enjoy what you write, but I don’t want to get notified each time. Is there a way to change that?”
Yes! There is a way to change that.
But first, let me explain my prolific uptick.
I have been writing more now because my travel time has freed up. (Thanks, coronavirus…not!)
Pre-coronavirus I was on the road once or twice a month minimum. It was a good week if I posted three times.
As some have noticed, now that I’m homebound, sometimes I post three times a day. If I was faster, I’d be tempted to post more.
Anyway, since it looks like it’s going to be a while until I can safely get back on the road (I fall in the high-risk category) and resume a more sporadic posting regimen again, I figured I’d address this question since more than one has already asked about it.
If you’re wondering how to change the frequency too, you have a few options.
1. Change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.
In any New Post Notification email you get, scroll down past the “Comment” and “See all comments” buttons. Directly under the Unsubscribe button, is another sentence that says “Change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.”
Click the “Manage Subscriptions” and you’ll be taken to a Subscription Management page in WordPress.com. You don’t need to have a WordPress.com account to either subscribe to any blogs or to change the Delivery Frequency.
You have three options to choose from:
- Immediate – This is the default setting. I don’t have any control over that, it’s a WordPress.com thing. As soon as I hit publish, an email notifying you of a new post hits your inbox. Keep this as is if you don’t want to change anything.
- Daily – You’ll receive a daily digest of any and all posts published on Haunt Jaunts.
- Weekly – You’ll receive a weekly digest of any posts published that week.
Pick which one works best for you!
2. MailChimp Weekly Digest Subscription
Before I started using Jetpack for posts-by-email distribution via WordPress.com, I was using MailChimp. I still have that in place for people who initially signed up that way.
If you’d rather get your posts once a week, they automatically are sent every Sunday night. Here’s the signup form for that:
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
