A simple click on a random place on screen should discard it. I wanted to connect with my readers so I have added that subscribe popup recently. As I have figured nobody subscribed to my newsletter yet :(

Let me know if it doesn't work. Also would be glad if you can give browser / platform.

Personally, I'm never going to subscribe to any newsletter ever. If I like someones content enough, I might bookmark the page or subscribe via RSS. However, currently the page rudely interrupts before I've even finished reading. I've (probably) never visited your site before. I don't know if I like the content or not. If I reach the bottom of the page, there's fair chance I might. A notice at the bottom like "If you liked this, maybe you'll like my newsletter". It's far less disruptive and way more polite.

I hated popups in the 90's, same as I do now. It's an immediate bounce for me.

I also don't use email subscriptions, unless it is my favorite person. But I don't know how many of them are subscribed via RSS.

I see, I have removed the popup.

I figured it out, but why not at least put an x to close in a corner so it behaves something like a normal popup?
