How can I offer email updates?

This lets people subscribe to your blog by email.

  1. Go to FeedBurner
  2. Register there.
  3. Burn your feed.
    Your feed address is your blog name with /feed at the end. Like this - http://example.wordpress.com/feed
  4. Click ‘My Feeds’ at the top of the screen on the left
  5. Click the name of your feed
  6. Click the Publicize tab
  7. Click the ‘Email Subscriptions’ in the left column
  8. Find this “Subscription Link Code” and copy the code in the box underneathfeedburner.png
  9. Paste that code into a text widget
  10. That’s all there is to it.

Note:

  • You cannot redirect your feed to Feedburner
  • Questions about the email service should go to FeedBurner
  • Offering email updates might cause a drop in feed stats if people switch
  • You won’t be able to offer this email subscription if you have chosen to make your blog private
