I have heard about the weekly newsletter. How do I subscribe?
-
2This question is motivated by the fact there is nothing at all in the common FAQ's or the FAQ for StackExchange Sites about newsletters. Also because it is genuinely hard to find the subscribe button. See related question and a similar, but different, request.– OddthinkingCommented Feb 8, 2012 at 12:47

There will be an occasional sidebar ad if you haven't signed up yet.– Daniel BeckCommented Feb 8, 2012 at 12:48

Daniel: Yes, but I realised 30 minutes ago I wasn't subscribed, even though I am a mod! I tried to rectify that, and realised that despite being very familiar with the site, I had no idea how to do it! That was embarrassing enough, but being unable to find it in any of the FAQs made it worse.– OddthinkingCommented Feb 8, 2012 at 12:57

You can get at newsletter subscriptions three different ways.
User Edit Page
Click on your username at the top of the page to go to your user profile page. From there, click Edit to see the option to subscribe to the current site's newsletter.
Master StackExchange list
Via your Network Profile page, you can click on Newsletters.
That will take you to the Newsletters page where you can see all the possible newsletters, and to which ones you subscribe.
Sidebar Ads
Sometimes, the adverts on the sidebar on the right of the question pages will show an advert that can be clicked on.

1I never would have thought to have gone to my profile to subscribe to the site. And had I looked there, I never would have thought to edit my profile. Neither would I have thought to go to my network profile to subscribe to the newsletter for the specific site that I was just on. Subscribing to the newsletter is something that I change about the site (like favoriting a tag), not changing something about me. Commented Sep 30, 2014 at 6:46
