> ask for my email address for your newsletter

So you’re the one who actually wants that popup? I guess the world really is coming to an end, I couldn’t imagine a single person who actually thinks to themselves “I wish a popup would happen asking for my email address right now.”



Not a popup, please! Just a from please. I want a way to keep on top of tembo that doesn't involve investing my time. Not saying I'd read every newsletter, though.


This 100%. A polite signup form at the bottom of a page (or an RSS feed) is totally fine. At this point I understand what you are about and will consider subscribing to your news.

But those popups that show up after I have read a few paragraphs of into can go to hell. I just leave the page when I see this at this point.


*"form" not "from"
