This post is for the people who have subscribed to my blog post notifications and receive an email as soon as I post.<\/p>\n
I recently became aware that there were ads at the bottom of the email that was automatically sent out to you all when I published my blog post this morning. Those ads were not supposed to be there at all, they were initiated by the Jet Pack plugin that is responsible for sending out those emails.<\/p>\n
I did some research on the matter and those ads will not be appearing again. This is from one of the members of the Automattic Jet Pack team:<\/p>\n

Hi everyone. I have an update. First of all, I\u2019d like to apologize. The change has now been reverted. The Email ads were implemented for WordPress.com site owners using the free version of WordPress.com, and should not have appeared at all in emails for Jetpack sites like yours.<\/p>\n
Future emails for posts from your sites will not include any ads.<\/p>\n
So, mystery solved and I’m sorry if that email alarmed any of my subscribers.<\/p>\n
