I know it's been a while, but I'm getting ready to crank up the BG email newsletter machine once again. A lot of you have been asking when they are coming back, and the answer is: Now.

I'm in the process of moving my email list over to a new service, and emails have gone out asking you to opt back into the list. (No way around it. It's one of the rules of the new service.) And a bunch of you have emailed me asking if the email you got asking you to click a link to re-up is legit. It is.

Once you click, you'll be back on my list and will start getting the Friday Roundup emails again, along with occasional ones for special offers or posts that can't wait until Friday. Or are exclusively for subscribers only.

As always, I don't sell, rent, loan or otherwise abuse your email address. And when my crack tech team gets the sign up button to work with the new service, which should be today or tomorrow, you guys who were never on the list can sign up. The sign up form is down there on the right side of the site. Stay tuned.
