Dear R-bloggers readers, For over 10 years, R-bloggers has been sending e-mail updates using feedburner. Sadly, Google has decided to shut-down their (free) e-mail delivery service for feedburner. In order to mitigate this change, all confirmed e-mail subscribers were moved to get their email updates via the follow.it service. Since the follow.it service is not as good for our needs, alternative solutions were tested, and the new solution will be a self-hosted mailing list (an open-source solution called phpList). This new newsletter solution has several advantages:
  1. It does not have any annoying banner ads at the bottom of the e-mail.
  2. It now comes with a table of content of the posts at the top of the e-mail.
  3. (new!) In addition to the daily e-mails, there is now also the option of weekly e-mail updates as well.
Please click here to subscribe to get your daily/weekly email updates on new R news and tutorials. Make sure to click the link the confirmation e-mail you will receive! The subscription page will look like this: The daily newsletter looks something like this:

Never miss an update!
