Mailing List WP Plugin

[DarrenC]

Anyone know of a plugin which will enable me to:

Get the visitor to enter email address to subscribe
Send them to a thank you type page
Add their email address into the database
Send a HTML or Plain Text email to subscribers

I know they are plugins to send subscribers an email when a new blog entry is added or edited, but I don't want to do that - just 2 or 3 emails a month informing them of updates.

i use feedpress to push my blog - worry free and automatically sends every day

[DarrenC]

Can you explain how that works please?

[Klaas Koopman]

interested in this aswell, cause I want my current visitors to come back now and then!

sorry don't know why i said feedpress -- combining wordpress and feedburner

feedburner.com will actually take your blog and create an rss2.0 feed. You get a simple code to enter into your blog so people can sign up to receive your feed automatically. It was featured in Business 2.0 this month and I just got online about 5 days ago and I am a huge fan already. Easy integration, no plugins to deal with, and it works.

my feed can be seen here http://feeds.feedburner.com/Celebridiot - that is what anyone subscribing to your feed will recieve in the rss reader or inbox

if you check out my site you can see that my rss feed icon points to that feed and the e-mail subscription box blends perfectly with my theme

That looks good. I'll look into that, but I don't suppose you'll get to contact the people who have subscribed? I'd like to occassionally send out an email giving them information and news about the blog etc.

yes you can view all of your e-mail subscribers
