E -newsletter subscription

[Techies]

Good day all

I consider myself an amateur internet enthusiast, however I have recently published a web blog using serendipity but I need to add a box for readers to subscribe to my newsletter. It would be appreciated if an expert can inform me on how to do this.

Hi

Well my magic ball is out of order....,
but you could install a sidebar nugget and have a link inside

Code: Select all

<a href="mailto:techie@all.com">subscribe to nl</a>

Thanks for your quick reply. Will try to do as suggested.

Hi

Thanks, I have downloaded an html nugget and inserted the code as directed. Unfortunately the word of the code appears on the blog page. I guess I need to create a box like the one for registering on the website. Please advise.

So then I would recommend strongly using the contactform event plugin and advice subscribers in the intro to write into the textarea what they want exactly. With this one you avoid an open web access to your mail address.
To have some sort of registration form with optional database and so on, you have to learn some PHP and perhaps have some more experience with plugins etc. But this is depending how you actualy send newsletters. Did you have a deep look what kind of plugins are available?

Hi

Thanks for the suggestions. I hope to keep on experimenting until I am fully conversant with the plugins.
