For those of you unaware of it, we&#8217;ve had a service for some time where you can be automatically emailed every time I make a new post! At the moment, the only other ways to be notified are: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Through our <a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/crystaldreamsblog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official Facebook page<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Through our <a href=\"https:\/\/crystalized-dreams.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tumblr<\/a> (at least until Jetpack decides to no longer do so&#8211; Twitter Feed has already been destroyed due to recent changes on the site)<\/li>\n<li>Directly following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/?feed=rss2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our RSS feed<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep in mind, this is only for <b>new posts<\/b>&#8212; not new pages of any kind (but I&#8217;ll usually mention them outside of guides which will just be added to their directory pages). For better security and more customization, we recently switched services and thus, have a new sign-up form. As mentioned, anyone who has signed up previously should hopefully still be subscribed if you&#8217;ve confirmed previously (and hopefully receive an email when this goes through)&#8211; if you haven&#8217;t, you likely did not confirm your email and may need to resubscribe.<\/p>\n<p>The reason I&#8217;m making this post is because previously, we just had it on the sidebar of the website. This time, the sidebar instead links to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/?page_id=15134\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a page where you can sign up<\/a> if the sign up form doesn&#8217;t slide in from the left side automatically. It&#8217;s a small pop-in, does <b>not<\/b> work like a pop-up, and can be closed fairly easily while also not covering anything (unless you have a small monitor or likely if you&#8217;re on mobile&#8211; I apologize, but it can still be closed easily). Besides announcing the newsletter update, I also am making this post for more opinions on if people like the little slide in or would rather the form be solely in the sidebar. <\/p>\n<p>If you want it in the sidebar, it will likely be a smaller version of this, essentially:<br \/>\n<center>  \n  \n  <div class=\"\n    mailpoet_form_popup_overlay\n      \"><\/div>\n  <div\n    id=\"mailpoet_form_1\"\n    class=\"\n      mailpoet_form\n      mailpoet_form_shortcode\n      mailpoet_form_position_\n      mailpoet_form_animation_\n    \"\n      >\n\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n     #mailpoet_form_1 .mailpoet_form {  }\n#mailpoet_form_1 form { margin-bottom: 0;
