We use tribulant. it has been quite challenging to migrate a preexisting database of 3000 subscribers to and has caused numerous conflicts with other plugins.

Thanks Lorelle. Ideally I’d give people the option of RSS or email. I understand that you can use feedburner etc. for emailing the RSS feed, and how that works (more or less) on newly published content. The part I’m not clear on, is whether when you update a previously published post or page, can that be included in a ‘broadcast’ by email or RSS. Basically the content in question (rules, regulations) will be updated from time to time, and visitors will want to be notified when the rules/regs have been updated. If you have any tips they’re most appreciated

@ Tzaddi:

I don’t understand what you are looking for. Do you want to notify “subscribers” by email or through their feed reader. See Understanding, Using, and Customizing WordPress Blog Feeds for information on customizing feeds with WordPress, including by category. You can use FeedBlitz or Feedburner to email feed “updates” automatically to subscribers, too. See Integrating FeedBlitz Feed Email Service Into WordPress for how to do that. It’s really simple and requires no Plugin. It’s automatic. Does that answer your question?

Thanks for this list. Your posts are so helpful!

I am looking for a way that users can subscribe to both new posts and updated posts/pages. Not just updates for one post, but whole categories or the site.

The Advanced Mailer Using AJAX WordPress Plugin sounds like it might be what I need, but it seems to be offline. I can’t find it… Anyone have suggestions?

@ Richard:

Thank you, and the answer to your mother’s question is “feeds” not email. Email subscriptions are one thing, but feeds are the answer to knowing when a site is updated. Teach her about feeds. She’ll have much more fun on the web and get faster access to interesting information.
