Manage your feed with Feedburner : Part 2 - Email Subscription
This entry was posted by nhc on Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008 at 6:51 am. It is filed under Blogger Tutorials, Wordpress Tutorials and tagged with feedburner, how to.
As I said in the previous post, we should use Feedburner to manage our feeds because it give us lots of features that I will talk about through my posts. In this post, I will show you how to give your readers another way to stay up-to-date with your blog instead of RSS feed.
Introduce to Email Subscription
What is FeedBurner Email?
FeedBurner email is a service that allows publishers to deliver their feed content to subscribers via email.
What will it help bloggers do that they can’t do today?
Today, if subscribers want to read, view or watch syndicated online content, they typically have to go to where the content is hosted or know how to subscribe to the feed and consume the content within a reader (e.g. GoogleReader, iGoogle, Bloglines, MyYahoo!, FeedDemon, iTunes, etc.). With email subscription capability, subscribers can now receive this information in their inbox, similar to an e-newsletter. More convenience and more easier for readers !
How to active your Email Subscription service
We will go through a few steps and you will get what you want 
Step 1. Login to your account and click on Feed you want to active Email Subscription service
Step 2. Click on the Publicize tab
Step 3. Choose Email Subscription on the left sidebar
Step 4. Choose your feed deliver
You can choose FeedBurner, FeedBlitz, or Rmail to be your feed-via-email service provider.
I choose Feedburner (we are using their service, heh ? 
). Then click button Activate.
Step 5. Get your code
They offer us two ways to display the Email Subscription :
- Subscription Form: Copy and paste the code into any web page. Your subscription form will be automatically inserted each time the page is loaded. From there, readers can subscribe to receive daily email with your newest content.
- Subscription Link: You can also offer email subscriptions from a link rather than a form. Just copy the link code and insert to your blog. Users who click it will be prompted to enter their email address in the form that appears.
Hint : If your sidebar’s width is larger than 160px, you should use Subscription Form because a form will attract more readers than a link
Step 6. : Past the code to your blog and DONE.

Typhoon,

By the way, Cool name There Typhoooooooooon.. lol
how do i change the theme and add picture for this subscription box?
You need to have knowledge of HTML/CSS.
Hmmm … Maybe a new post as Typhoon suggested is better
Hi Guys,
Personally I prefer Feedblitz email service. Contary to feedburner email, Feedblitz is a ad-supported free dedicated email delivery service,
The advantages are:
* list of posts above all the post.
* Can include the recent posts list at the end.
* Have a search function.
* More efficient managing of subscribers.
* Can send news flash to your subscribers etc,.
The biggest advantage is that you can use this service along with Feedburner. Feedburner lets you choose Feedblitz email in the Publisize>Email options. So the RSS feed counter chiklet will show both Feed Subscribers + Email subscribers.
I use Feedblitz email. Thats it. lol;)
Cheers.
Yep, I don’t like it. They load very very very slow
Everytime I subscribe to a blog used Feedblitz, it’s a painful process
Hey, The pain is a onetime process. I havent felt that really. Maybe I should consider that .Thanks
