Mailchimp email subscriptions instead of Feedburner

I got an email from Google's Feedburner to say they will no longer be supporting email subscriptions to my blog starting in July. Lissa mentioned this upcoming change in her blog recently and I realized I had to make some changes. 

So I have started using Mailchimp email subscription service instead. There are only a handful of people who subscribe to my blog by email but I thought I would keep the option available. They will receive the blog posts emailed to them from Mailchimp now instead of from Feedburner. On the right side of the blog you can subscribe by email too. And I learned something new because I had to!  All of this did require some testing. Hopefully this is a seamless transition.

 

 A sure sign of spring, I noticed this forsythia bush on my walk last week.  It blooms for only a short while, much like cherry blossoms.

And here is a magnolia in bloom, again just for a short while.
