Today Feedburner announced a new service that I am taking full advantage of straight away. It seems a lot of people still don’t know what an RSS feed is, nor how to use it.
Email remains the most popular way of receiving news.
The benefits of using Feedburner to deliver your mail:
- Free
- Daily emails
- Blog Branding
- Very good HTML/CSS rendering
- Blogger owns the email list and can export it at any time
Feedburner has existing partnerships with Feedblitz and Squeet for their competing products – those partnerships remain in place and bloggers will have a choice as to which of the three services to use. (Source: Techcrunch.com)
So if you want to recieve my wonderful, insightful posts everyday, via email, then simply fill in this little form and I’ll be visiting your inbox soon. Don’t worry I hate spammers just as much as you do.
I'm a half English, half South African, digital designer, photography lover & co-founder of WooThemes.com. This site is my dedicated creative outlet.

You know, I tried to activate this service and it just didn’t work so I wound up adding a FeedBlitz widget to my sites (I have two TypePad blogs and adding the widget was really easy).
Does the FeedBurner email go out as soon as you publish your post or does it go out on a schedule? I must still play around with my FeedBlitz settings.

The feedburner email goes out as soon as you publish an article. If you don’t post an article on any particular day, no email will be sent on that day. Easy as pie.
The service only became avaliable yesterday, officially that is, so their servers were probably getting bombarded. Try again, well worth the effort.

It will be up (with some glitches) from the 1st of May 2006… as part of the CSS Reboot project. :P

What do you think? Not bad, considering it was randomly generated by the Postmodern generator using the Dada Engine
