JohnPope, I thank you very much for your honest feedback. I somewhat agree with you about popups so I will rethink it. Maybe the banner at the top is sufficient and not to harassing and might serve me better. Since I’m new at this and its my first website I’m guilty of following the advice on just about every website about increasing page visits by aggressively going after subscribers for a mailing list. I can only assume if I have annoyed you, it is certainly annoying others also.
Thank you for your time and feedback. I really appreciate your thoughts.
