Hi Sharon,
You want to make sure your sending your readers to an email provided by your hosting. You do not want to send them to your personal emails like gmail or yahoo. You will get tons of spam and hackers. By sending them to your hosting email it will protect your account and avoid a headache of losing the emails or sending them to spam.
Nancy do you mean send them a link to me@mydomin.com rather than me@gmail.com? And my correspondence should come from me@mydomain.com, even if I use a service like Constant Contact?
Hi Mike,
Yes, your right. Your email should always be forwarded to your hosting email. They provide free email to use.
