Desamation Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I apologize in advance if I am a little long winded with this question. I just want to make sure I am explaining it right. If it's possible, I want my traffic to know when new material has been added. It can be in the form of an auto-generated email, "New Content" monikers alongside menu headers, or an option for users to go to "non-viewed" content. In essence, I want my traffic to know when new content has been added and not viewed. Hopefully this is an easy process through Squarespace options and not a coding job, as I am a pure novice when it comes to coding. Thanks for taking the time! Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) No question is too long to ask here. Well a rss feed will do that for you. I do that for followers of my story blog. I use a third party option called Follow.it (I replaced Google's Feedburner) that I had before SS started offering mailchimp RSS feed integration. They do that for lots of content not just blog posts. Here is the info on it: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/215761717-Using-RSS-feeds You can also collect email newsletter subscriptions and send out a notification yourself when you add new content. I prefer using a RSS feed, and the free service I use gives four main options, a heads up and link to the sites new content or it sends the post out in a format that lets you read and see the content in the email itself are the most popular. Here is mine if you wish to take a look, just click the button "Follow my stories." https://myrandomviews.com/storysummary. You may want to consider signing up just to see what it is like for users. I am posting some new content in the next day or two. Edited December 25, 2020 by derricksrandomviews Link to comment
