Email Subscribers from Wordpress

Still crazy about plugins! Found a new one today called Subscribe2. Now, this is the only one I’ve tried, but it seems to do everything I want, and I was giddy while looking through admin.

Subscribe2 puts a form on your blog to let visitors sign up, emails them according to the settings you configure, saves an exportable database of all your subs emails, and lets you manually send email to the subs you desire RIGHT IN wordpress. It’s even widget ready.

Pretty Sweet, huh?

The ONLY thing missing is a sequential autoresponder, like aweber or getresponse. Of course, that would be above and beyond any expectation.

If you would like pimped out subscriber and mailing list control, check out Subscribe2

Heres what I did with mine…

I  used a widget for the subscribe form. Easy Peasy. I was able to change the text on the form (enter your email:) and move the button to my liking,  but because I’m not super great at hacking code I couldn’t figure out how to get my image in there. Nothing a simple text widget with html writing the image in couldn’t fix.

I’m gonna mess around with it a little more. The text widget title defaults to “subscribe2″ I want to completely remove it. Will get it soon enough, keep checking back to see!

If you do anything cool with your sub2 widget/form, put a link here. I’ve completely disabled the nofollow rule in wordpress, so you will get a link back! Promise!

Happy Emailing!
