Is it possible for visitors to subscribe to individuals posts to that they receive emails when there are comments made to them?

Also, is there a proper place to be posting module/feature requests?

Thanks,

Yes, when they comment, they can check the box "Subscribe to comments". Your global s9y configuration needs to have "people can subscribe to comments" enabled (this is default).

Also they could subscribe to the RSS feed of an entry.

Hi Garvin,

Is there a sidebar plugin that lets users to enter their e-mail address and be mailed when you add a new entry to your blog?

Hi!

No, that's what we believe RSS is meant for. There are also services that send RSS feeds via E-Mail.

You can however setup a mailinglist on services like YahooGroups, then install the plugin "email entries" and point it to that mailinglist. To let people subscribe to your mailiniglist, you can simply create a html nugget plugin that points to the mailinglist page there.

Best regards,

That's fair enough, it was just a user asking if there could be a subscribe box and I know I've got it set-up to send me a mail when I/anyone enters a new entry (though the e-mail is just a load of HTML, which is a little annoying).

or you can use feedburner. This gives an email subscription to your readers, too.

Have a look at http://www.sankt-joseph-siemensstadt.de/pages/abo.html for example.

OK, I like the look of FeedBurner, so how exactly do I enter the HTML they've given me onto my blog sidebar?

for html in the sidebar: html-nugget seems to be right.

OK, I've install the HTML Nugget, I've pasted the HTML I've got from FeedBurner into the content box but all this does on the blog is display the raw HTML. What else do I need to do?

Sorry I'm not a HTML expert.

There is (in german) a checkbox "Textformatierung(en) durchführen" this must be off

Hi!

Apart from what st9x9 pointed out about "Apply markup transformations" this might also be an issue with specific markup plugins like the "Wiki MArkup" which does not allow raw HTML when being aplpied.
