E-Mail Comic Delivery
As I was writing yesterday's post about building an e-newsletter for your fans, it took me back to a time in my early geezerdom -- before RSS -- when I was e-mailing my comic out to my readers who didn't want to visit the site daily.
Believe it or not, when I first started, I was doing it manually. Luckily, I moved to a Web publishing system that included the feature as an automatic option.
And even after RSS crested, becoming the default choice for following daily-updated Web content such as ours, I kept my e-mail list -- and I still send out the comic to a couple hundred e-mail subscribers. Here are some thoughts if you'd like to do the same.
