mailing list?

hi blazin,

I haven’t used any of the mail plugins but this link has a bunch. If you do find one you like let us know. Just bump this again after some time if you don’t get some better advice.

Here’s the link

don (el paso)

tried a couple out…… no luck… im looking for one where the subscriber doesnt have to be a member of the blog, rather just input their email to receive the blog updates…. hopefully one day i’ll find something ??

>im trying to find a good mailing list plugin that will send subscribers the post (or link to the post) anyone have a good one?

this is confusing. what do you want, a subscriber plugin or an email this post to a friend plugin?

Theyre different, I use both, and neither necessitate that the user for each be a registered member.

i didnt say “email this post to a friend” ?? i’d like one where the visitor puts in their email and name in a form, then every time i make a post, the entry is sent to the email. which one are you using?

I use feedblitz.com for a (free) service that does exactly that.

If you use feedburner.com, they have a similar offering.

ya i’ve tried feedblitz but its so damn confusing ?? not sure how to actually get the email form on my site or anything.

> i didnt say “email this post to a friend”

I know what you didnt say, or I wouldnt have asked for clarification.

I offer users the ability to subscribe to comments, and send a post to a friend.

what you want appears to be right here:

and judging by the fact that its being used on his/her own site:

https://blog.watershedstudio.com/ <– on the right hand side

it certainly appears you dont

have to be “a member of the blog”

fwiw, i found that via google:

the plugin available from watershedstudio.com looks good, but in the install directions, there’s a bit of info missing–namely how many fields the table needs. I posted a comment on the watershedstudio.com blog entry about this plugin, but no answer yet. anyone here happen to know how many fields the table needs?
