Feedburner Allowing Custom Subject Lines for Email Subscriptions

Are you a blogger?

Do you use Feedburner to manage your RSS Feeds, and to allow people to receive email updates whenever you post on your blog?

If you do, you might have noticed that the subject line of subscription emails doesn’t tell your readers much about the content of your latest post.

Well, this is changing. A new feature in Feedburner allows you to create custom subject lines. Your subject line can be the title of your latest post, or you can customize even further in case you have posted more than one item.

To read the full (and simple) instructions on how to implement this change, visit Happiness is More in Your Subject Line.

I hope it is useful!

Thanks Anna – this is good to know. Right now Feedburner doesn’t allow enough customizations in my opinion – and this will make a big difference.

Anna, you’re touching on subjects that I need to spend more time on but put off. Google Analytics and now Feedburner. I find feedburner to be a little confusing or maybe it’s just me. Thanks for the (simple instruction) I need them

Feedburner took really a very nice initiative by introducing this feature. Now we can establish a more personalized communication with our subscribers

Definitely a great deal for feedburner users, I’m going to have to take a look at this and see what’s going on.

I just separated my feedburner and aweber accounts, so my feedburner is now back to the defaults, will have a look.
