Mailchimp subscription not working? #111

Closed astrojuanlu closed 3 years ago

astrojuanlu commented 3 years ago

I used the little box on the blog saying " Sign up for our blog and we'll send you information about Sphinx and Read the Docs on a regular basis. " a while back, but I didn't receive anything. I expected some sort of automated email on the new blog posts, for example. If it is not automated, I propose we discuss about what to do with it :)

@ericholscher Perhaps it's only me, but I think "subscribe to our blog" gives the impression that subscribers will receive new posts by email:

Definitely, if it was the intention, it is not happening :) (we published 2 or 3 posts since I opened this issue). And if it's not, what do you think about rephrasing it? We are not doing any email marketing now yet, though.

Looks like Mailchimp was disabled because we hit too many subscribers.

ericholscher commented 3 years ago

I've re-enabled it.

Thanks! Will close this issue when we observe evidence that it's working

Test email worked 👍🏽
