Simple email subscription comes to edublogs

We’ve just introduced a new feature to edublogs, simple email subscription.

All you have to do is drag the ‘Email Subscription’ widget to your sidebar (or sidebar of choice) and readers will automatically be able to easily subscribe to your blog by email (and manage their subscriptions to any edublogs blog)

It’s not ‘official’ yet (will make a splash in edublogs.org about it next week) so if anyone wants to have a look at it, test it, share any ideas they might have or generally fool aroudn with it… and let us know how you go… that’d be much appreciated!

You can leave any feedback below or on the forums.

    As always, this is a great add-on for us. Thanks James and crew. Would you consider taking a look at Twitter Tools? http://alexking.org/projects/wordpress/readme?project=twitter-tools It will allow us Twitter users to post directly to our blogs from Twitter, but it will also send a Tweet directly to Twitter to announce a new blog post. Cool functionality for a growing social tool. Thanks again, James.

    Thank you, James! It’s just a heck of a lot easier to bring teachers into the blogosphere via email than RSS feeds. I’m headed to my blogwalker site right now:-)

    Cool, can you let me know how you find it / if it works OK for you.

    It doesn’t have heaps of features, just enough we hope.

    I’ll keep you posted.
