Though I have been running my blog for 3 years, I am feeling technically challenged reading all this. I am not seeing any of the options mentioned in the thread.
I had set up Subscribe to and Tell a Friend Gadgets on my account. I did not do the feedburner thingy? Am I supposed to do that? Can someone tell me how to set up a feedburner. I am a bit confused about setting it up. Is it good to accept all the default options or anything specific to be set up?
feedburner.google.com should take you there or google 'google feedburner'. After that its the customary registrations and the steps that you will need to follow. It just helps to let your readers stay connected to your blogs through mails as well.
After setting everything up, if you dont want to send your entire posts in the mailbox but only a short summary, then Go to Optimize -> Summary Burner (Last In Services section) and customize the number of words you want to send to the reader and activate that service!
Thats all i remember having done, but then google things always come with a host of options with which you can play around with...
Further, if you have any problems regarding this, you can always drop in a word here :)
If you want it to be simpler, you can simple add the 'Follow by e mail' gadget. With this, you need not go through the process of signing up and other things. However, to access the information regarding the subscribers you need to log into your feedburner account.
Have you set it up @ the fool?
Thanks for this, even I have to activate email subscription :)
Welcome DS:)
