Get new blog entries by email
November 11th, 2007
If you're like me, you have subscribed to lots of blogs and other RSS feeds, and these are all stacked up in your feed reader. If you're really like me, you hardly ever use your feed reader because there's so much in there and you just know you'll never have time to read it all.
But sometimes you come across a blog that you really do want to keep up with. The answer may be to get emailed each time the author posts a new entry. Many sites have a little form to make this easy, but you can set this up for any RSS feed by using FeedBlitz from FeedBurner.
First get your RSS feed URL. For example, the RSS feed for this blog is:
http://www.itauthor.com/feed
Now take the following partial URL:
http://www.feedblitz.com/f/f.fbz?Track=
and add the RSS feed URL at the end. For example:
http://www.feedblitz.com/f/f.fbz?Track=http://www.itauthor.com/feed
Paste this into the address bar of your browser, hit Enter and just fill out the form at FeedBlitz.
