rookie mistake

6/25/2017

Welp, you'd think working in a profession that involves domain transfers, I'd have thought the whole e-mail setup process through after launching this new website.
Nope.
So, I connected the dots and did some Googling, only to find that I had not tied my new domain to my Google email account. So - all day yesterday, I received no emails at my new address. This was especially worrisome as I had just shared the link to the blog with my family and wanted to make sure I received any and all form/email notifications that were generated off the site.
The sad part is, I deal with this all the time at work and should have thought this through after I launched the domain. 
I'm no domain expert - but I did know that there's more work to do than simply picking a domain and choosing what email address you would like to use for that website. You need to add the appropriate e-mail MX records to the domain host/provider so the two can sync up. Derp.
At least it will be in the forefront of my mind with the next site I launch. 

​Speaking of which, what should that be about? Right now, my thoughts are creating a French language blog (I know there are a lot out there, but maybe one that focuses on French activities around the Michigan area too, to help locals find language learning resources).

Maybe you could focus your French blog on what it takes to do a good meetup - specifically a French one? Perhaps a directory or listing of meetups? That requires maintenance though...
