Subscribing to our feeds
What is subscribing and why would you want to do it?
Subscribing means you can stay in-touch with what’s going on here. When an item or article is posted in a category or page you’ve subscribed to, you can be notified in a couple of ways:
- (Obviously) you can keep checking back to the website
- Subscribe using an RSS (feed) reader
(If you don’t currently have a feed reader, Bloglines, Google, and even Outlook do the job nicely) - Get new items sent to your email (more below)
Okay, I know how to do 1, how about #2 and #3?
Subscribe using an RSS (feed) reader
Under the “Keep in Touch” box, find the feed you want and RIGHT-click on the RSS (
) icon. Copy the link location and follow the subscription instructions for your feed reader.
Subscribe via Email
If you prefer to receive your updates via email, do one of these:
- Enter your email in the subscription form and click “Subscribe Me!”. This will start the subscription for the Site Updates – including the Morning Messages.
- Find the feed name and click on the Email (
) icon.
With either email choice, you’ll be sent to our Feedblitz subscription form. Complete the form (WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS) and submit it.
Within a few minutes, you’ll receive a confirmation email at the address you entered. Click on the “Activation” link.
You are now subscribed! As updates occur, you’ll receive and email that looks something like this:
To Unsubscribe (email):
At the bottom of each email sent to you is an “Unsubscribe” link. Click on it and follow the instructions. Easy!

I am receiving messages twice, one coming about 4:00 a.m. in the morning. I also cannot reply to any messages – when I want to send an answer to the trivia question. Should I unsubscribe and try subscribing again or any other suggestions?

Hi all!
If, like Mary, you’re receiving two emails from us with the same stuff, you’re probably still subscribed to the old way as well as the new.
Here’s what ya do:
Look on the email – the one you don’t want is the one without the picture of the church at the top.
Go to the bottom of that email, and click on the “unsubscribe” link.
See if that does the trick. If not, send an email to me at communications@salemmoumc.com and I’ll see what I can do.
