You know what they say about best-laid plans and even though Adaptistration has relied on WordPress to deliver its per-article email notifications for the last several years, some recent changes in how they manage that process makes it a less reliable option.

And no worries about any potential for duplicates. Once WordPress finds the original list and it gets uploaded to the new email marketing provider, MailChimp, that system will automatically merge and sync any records to prevent sending out multiple copies of the same message. Because who has time for that, right?
A thousand apologies for any inconvenience but thanks to everyone for taking a quick moment to send your email and confirm the opt-in email.
