Subscribe2

This is another blog notification tool which allows you to send your subscribers an email whenever the blog is updated. There are some key differences from the email notification plugin though.

Some of the key points include:

  • Fully plug and play with WordPress (no installation)
  • Configurable email message templates for subscription, unsubscription, and email notifications
  • Can import/export/delete subscribers
  • Can exclude categories from sending email notifications
  • Can choose to send a link only, excerpt, or full entry
  • Requires double opt in and provides unsubscription links
  • Can send an email to subscribers without needing to make a post

There are a few drawbacks with this plugin as well, although the extent of each would depend on your needs:

  • Cannot limit emails on a post by post basis
  • Emails appear from the individual rather than the blog’s name
  • Has a stand alone subscription page and requires a little extra effort in order to add the subscription box anywhere else on the site

This mailing list script would be best if you didn’t need more post by post control. The good news is this mailing list software can be used with future dated entries because it won’t send notification of the blog update.
