Managing your reader account

As a reader on a VeloCMS-powered blog, you have a member account tied to your email address. Your account page shows your subscription status, lets you manage a paid subscription, set your email preferences, and export or delete your data.

How to access your account

Visit the blog's member login page (usually at /member/login). Enter your email address and click 'Send magic link'. A magic link is emailed to you — click it to log in. No password needed. Once logged in, click your name or avatar in the top navigation to open your account page.

Changing your email address

There is currently no self-serve way to change the email address on a member account. If you need to move your membership to a new address, contact the blog owner — or delete your account (see below) and register again with the new address. Note that registering fresh does not carry over a paid subscription, so for paid memberships contacting the owner first is the safer path.

Managing email preferences

Your account page has an 'Email preferences' section where you can toggle the newsletter on and off. Turning off the newsletter stops campaign emails but does not cancel your paid membership — you still have access to premium content. You can resubscribe at any time.

Deleting your account

Your account page has a data section with two options. 'Export' downloads a copy of your data as a JSON file. 'Delete account' removes you from the blog: your personal details are anonymized immediately, any active paid subscription is cancelled, you are unsubscribed from the newsletter, and your remaining personal data is purged after a retention period. Export anything you want to keep before deleting.
