"Clues from the News!"
I know these pages are slow to load, and I know that you're short on time.
This is a great way to stay on top of the latest additions to TheOldenTimes.com without trying to check the website every day...which can be tough when your connection is slow (and whose isn't?). The newsletter is published every two weeks, more or less - whenever I can squeeze in the time!I don't share subscribers' email addresses with anyone, not ever. Period, with no if's, and's or but's. No newsletter service handles this newsletter. As a result, it isn't slick, but you won't get hit with an inbox full of spam by subscribing to my newsletter!
Features:
Index of locations for all place names add since the last newsletter edition... with links directly to those stories
List of every name added to the site since the last newsletter edition... with links directly to those stories
Special Interest Alerts: I'll be sure to note when I've posted an old newspaper story that mentions immigrants, Native Americans, slaves or freedmen, lynchings or other murders, war news, veterans, ships' names, accidents, disasters and more.
List of additions to our Special Sections, such as the Victorian Scrapbook, the Family Album, Special Contributors, Recipes, or the Antique Postcard Collection.
A list of the highlights from the oldest news on the web! Guaranteed to not be hot off the presses!
Connections This is your section! Have you found an ancestor mentioned in The Olden Times? C'mon! Tell us about it! Can you add some genealogical or historical details to one of the old news stories? This is the place to share it.
Favorites - I have a list of stories that are my personal favorite, whether they're especially illustrative of the value of newspapers as a research tool, or they're notable in some other way.... or maybe I just thought they were funny!
And all the other good stuff I can think of!
Heck, I might even give away tee shirts! You wouldn't want to miss that, would you?
To subscribe, click on the link below. Be sure to put "subscribe" in the subject line. Leave the message blank (or add your name, so I won't have to address you as "subscriber"), and hit "Send!"
Normally, you should get an automatic reply, though apparently this doesn't always work, in spite of the fact that it's a service that I'm paying for (grrrrrr).
Your automatic reply includes a link to the most recent newsletter, as well as a link to a list of all the "back issues" that are still online.
NOTE: Due to the incredible number of emails I've gotten recently with only "Re:" in the subject line plus a virus-infected attachment (Nope, I don't open those), please be sure to include "subscribe" in the subject line, or I may delete it inadvertently. And don't attach any files!
Also: Someone has been forging my email address and sending viruses; do NOT open any attachments or files that appear to be from any address at this website, because it isn't from me!
I screen all my incoming and outgoing email for viruses and check for updated virus definitions several times a week, and have not sent out any viruses. However, because of the forgeries, I will be sending all my newsletters out in text format and not html. You'll simply copy and paste the url for the newsletter into your browser instead of clicking on an email link.
Again, do not ever open a file unless I email you ahead of time and let you know to expect one!
The newsletter is sent to the email address you use to send me the subscription request.
If you'd like to make arrangements to have it sent to a different email address (such as your home email address rather than a workplace computer you that you might use to subscribe), I'll be happy to do that. Just let me know when you email me to subscribe.
If you don't get an automatic reply, your request may get "bounced" or forwarded to me at my other email address... or it may not. (Yet another paid service) If I get your request at the other email address, I'll answer you personally to confirm your subscription request and send you the link to the back issues.
If you don't get either a personal reply or an automated response, try again!

NOTE: If the newsletter "bounces" for some unforeseen reason, I will remove your email address from the mailing list. I have no way to contact you to get a better email address.
Thanks for visiting my little homemade website!
