I guess I'll have to live on the edge because I've made no changes and really have no idea where to start. I am curious, however, as to how to figure out who follows by e-mail - are there directions somewhere? And once you figure that out, can you take people off the list?Debi Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409492643470603926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-33041144742177005522018-05-25T05:26:13.640-04:002018-05-25T05:26:13.640-04:00Wendy, I left Feedburner as is.

I added a Privacy and Cookie policy to the end of my blog, to show willing and I'll look into adding to the blurb Feedburner sends to new subscribers when I get a chance (it's not as if people, not even the bots, are signing up in droves!).Dara https://www.blogger.com/profile/16643201998217385573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-50667593400745265022018-05-24T10:49:32.327-04:002018-05-24T10:49:32.327-04:00I agree.

I have removed Feedburner from my page because it has a bad reputation due to being non-compliant and not updated. I never knew until yesterday that I could actually find who subscribes by email. It took awhile to figure it out, but eventually I did and was shocked to find I have over 800 subscribers. Probably the first 800 are all outlook email subscribers with nonsensical names most joining in bulk in a couple days' time.

But if you sell anything or have advertising or collect information from visitors, it's up to you to do SOMETHING to protect privacy. And yes, I learned yesterday I have almost 800 outlook email subscribers too. I had no clue about that. I have removed Feedburner, but I don't know if the REAL subscribers will get my blog through email anymore or not.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-44981218009753435922018-05-24T10:37:54.201-04:002018-05-24T10:37:54.201-04:00Yeah, I'm late to the party too.

Dianne Nolin made some good points in a conversation on Facebook that made me realize that the social buttons (Pinterest and Twitter) don't involve me at all.

This is surely a response to powerful companies like Facebook, giving/selling others the right to harvest your personal information, without your knowledge and consent, so it can be used to track or manipulate you in ways you could never imagine. You can hardly be held to account for manipulating someone, if you don’t manipulate them. It’s hard to believe ‘we’ will suddenly go mad overnight and start prosecuting honest people who do no harm.Dara https://www.blogger.com/profile/16643201998217385573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-57091329036867508222018-05-24T00:05:46.869-04:002018-05-24T00:05:46.869-04:00I hadn't even heard of this so I'm hoping ...I hadn't even heard of this so I'm hoping I won't be affected in any way?

Yes, this is all a bit over my head as far as time even to figure it all out, but I'm hoping like you say May 25th will arrive and all that needs to be adjusted with Google and such everything should work out well.

I have been assuming Google Blogger would take care of us, but I do wonder about feedburner. I have those hundreds of outlook email subscribers that I'm still curious about.

I do get a lot of international visitors to one particular post that someone added to Pinterest and has been accessed by lots and lots of folks (how to make a portacath seatbelt pillow for cancer patients). And I get a few others and wish I got more "new cousins" to come and visit me. AAAAAAAA!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
