\"EmailDigest\"<\/p>\n

I’ve received messages from several SWLing Post<\/em>\u00a0email subscribers stating that they haven’t received email digests or announcements lately.<\/p>\n

Our email subscription has been powered by the Google company Feedburner. Feedburner used to be the best RSS-to-email subscription service out there, but over the years, Google has all but dropped the service completely. \u00a0It appears their service is either not working right now, or is working inconsistently.<\/p>\n

I’ve stuck with Feedburner over the years because:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It’s free<\/li>\n
  2. It’s simple to use (both for me and for readers)<\/li>\n
  3. It offers options to have either an\u00a0email sent for each post or a daily digest with all posts from the day<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Most daily SWLing Post<\/em> readers (we’re averaging almost 6,000 on average) visit the site directly; a large number also use RSS services to follow our feed.<\/p>\n

    I’ve been searching for alternatives to Feedburner. There are quite a few out there, but most have a complicated pricing structures based on both the number of subscribers and the total amount of emails sent. We currently send at least 35,000 emails per month via Feedburner.<\/p>\n

    I will choose a paid rss service, because I don’t want emails littered with ads from the service provider.<\/p>\n

    I have a personal goal to make any change like this to the SWLing Post an upgrade in user experience, so it may take some time to find the right solution. If you’re familiar with rss-to-email services, your suggestions are most welcome!<\/p>\n

    Anyway, thanks for your patience while I explore email subscription services!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
