I don’t have an email list, but there is a place where readers can “follow” and get email alerts when I post again. <br />Also I’m working on a book now and will maybe start an email list for those updates. What if I get an email list AFTER May 25?Jackie Houchinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01753758587434594531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-39624462995083530232018-05-19T09:01:04.661-04:002018-05-19T09:01:04.661-04:00Yes you should send that post. :)Yes you should send that post. :)Cyle Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17815133484757908853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-66849093574440486352018-05-19T09:00:36.848-04:002018-05-19T09:00:36.848-04:00You are not automatically compliant.

So if someone was traveling in the U.S. and opened their email here, that's what we'd see. I did send to all my subscribers. First, I think it will eventually come here (everything else does). Second, I prefer safe over sorry. Any my list probably needed to be cleaned up anyway. :/Sandra Ardoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09007790799568055828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-58950832905751226042018-05-17T20:54:31.773-04:002018-05-17T20:54:31.773-04:00I've been reading about this and trying to fig...I've been reading about this and trying to figure out the rules.

(for once i'm glad i've been stalled on getting my newsletter sign-up set up - it's still just a quarterly blog post!)<br />but for my blog, it looks like i need to post a notice much the same as what i've seen in my inbox. is this correct???<br />#bettersafethansorry...<br />ps - just because it's "only" EU now, doesn't mean it won't hit the U.S. at some point as well!Robin E.

I've only received one such email out of all the lists I'm on. Is this necessary? Subscribers are notorious for not responding to calls for action.
