It is getting late here but I could not wait for tomorrow to try the feedburner. All set up went fine (I did watched your video first).

I subcribed myself, but when I am testing it with a new post, I did not receive any email notice of the new post. It has been 25 minutes.

Any thoughts? Thanks much,

Limin

You really touched me. Thank you for your timely response. You deserve go far with your online business adventure. Thank you so much.

I will follow your recommendation.

I only use Feedburner ( now owned by Google) to achieve this. Go to Feedburner.com and set up an account. Install the Feedburner plugin from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedburner-plugin/. Add your new Feedburner feed in the Feedburner plugin’s Admin area in your blog. This has the added benefit of tidying up your RSS feed too.

You can then add a ‘Subscribe’ box in a Text widget in your sidebar (using the code you generated in the Feedburner.com set up process). People who sign up are then informed via email when you publish new content – job done and all free!

I have found that WordPress installations can be temperamental about sending emails from the installation and your hosting a/c so I tend to avoid this.

BTW There’s a Feedburner video tutorial over here: http://www.blogbriefing.com/feedburner-feed-setup/

I have been learning about setting up my wordpress blog
and your site has been very helpful. Thanks!

I am now stuck with one problem:
Email notification of new posts is not working after I activated and set up ‘Subscribe2 For Social Privacy’ plug in. My hosting company tech support was able to test the plugin and the email notification works just fine. Have spent hours trying to figure this out but failed…my tech support could not figure out either why.

My site url is liminsong.com

Any insight you may have on this? any other plugin that will make the email notification work (notifying subcribers of new posts)? (I also tried subscribe2, same problem).

Many thanks ahead,

Limin from Hawaii

These are great tutorials. I was trolling everywhere on the web trying to find this information before I discovered Blogbriefing. The Feedburner tutorial was especially useful. Thanks for giving us all this.

Thanks very much – I’m adding them as quickly as I can (lots more to do!) – right now I’m editing an audio conversation I had with another member where he was asking me questions about auto-responders, and how they work, and hope to have that on the site soon along with a tutorial video. Don’t forget to ask any questions you might have in the Comments section here or on any other tutorial page.
