Feedburner is a free, Google-owned service that provides great feed statistics and services to bloggers and other feed publishers.
Here’s how to use Feedburner email subscription:
- Sign up — First of all, you’ll need to sign up for a Feedburner feed if you haven’t already.
- Go to Feedburner.com and login
- Click “My Feeds” in the upper-left-hand corner
- Select your feed from the list
- Click the “Publicize” tab
- Click “Email Subscriptions” on the left
- Make sure “Feedburner” is selected, and click “Activate”
- Copy the HTML code in the box
- Login to your WordPress blog’s administration area
- Go to the “Appearance” section (a.k.a. “Design,” “Presentation,” or “Themes” in versions prior to 2.7)
- If you’re using Widgets in your sidebar, click the “Widgets” sub-tab. Add a “Text” widget to the sidebar you want, and paste the HTML code in the configuration section. Save your changes, and that’s it!
- If you’re not using widgets, you’ll need to have basic knowledge of HTML. First click the “Editor” or “Theme Editor” subpanel, and select “Sidebar” from the list. Usually sidebar modules go between <li></li> tags; some other themes use <div>. Paste the code in your sidebar between the appropriate set of tags in the location you want, click Save, and you’re done!

I sent you email.
The Feedburner widget is installed and seems to be working well. However, I don’t know how to view my subscriber list.
Can you tell me how to view the list of people subscribed to my blog?
Thanks!
Go to your feedburner.com panel and you will find a list of your subscriber.

Hi,
Once the feedburner subscription widget is set and once the user subscribes, does admin also receives email on his/her email id that a user has subscribed over and above saving the subscription list on feedburner?
Hi,
I installed the Feedburner Email Subscription widget and it seems to be working for the most part, except that my friend who has an aol.com address never received the confirmation email or any of my posts. He checked his Spam inbox and it wasn’t there either. We actually tried signing him up twice but it doesn’t work. How do I fix this?
Thanks!!
