If You’re A Subscriber, Please Read This

Without subscribers, this blog wouldn’t exist and I’d be homeless.

What I didn’t expect about subscription is that of the twenty to thirty I lose every year, only two or three are because people cancel.

Instead what happens is one month I get a notice that “payment has failed.” This is almost always because credit card details like the number or expiration date have changed. PayPal doesn’t tell subscribers, so I try and let them know, but most of the time I don’t get thru.

So, if you subscribe, I’m asking you to check if the subscription is still active. You may think it is, but don’t be so sure. You can do this by checking your credit card payments for the last month, or if you have a PayPal account, thru them.
