You’re in!

You did it.

Yer in like Flynn as a spankin’ new subscriber to the Blogroll Scroll!

For that I am grateful to you.

Expect to receive your first issue in the mail shortly!

It’s super-highly recommended that you white list ray@blogroll.org in your email thingy so it keeps our scrolls from falling into that really scary spam blackhole…

Here’s how:

Gmail

If you are using the tabbed inbox, our emails may go to the ‘Promotions’ tab. To ensure our newsletters go directly to your Primary inbox:

  • On Desktop:
    • Drag and drop your newsletter (or confirmation email) to that tab OR right click on the email in your inbox and select Move to Tab > Primary
    • If you get the prompt This conversation has been moved to “Primary.” Do this for all future messages from ray@blogroll.org?, select Yes
  • On mobile web:
    • Select the newsletter in your inbox, tap move from the dropdown menu and select Primary
  • On Gmail App:
    • Tap on the hamburger icon in the top left-hand corner of the screen and select “Promotions” from the menu
    • Open the newsletter
    • Click on the three dots in the topmost right-hand corner of the screen (in the red header bar)
    • Select “Move to,” then “Primary”

Another way on Gmail desktop
