    Notifying members and customers of NEW blogs and forum news weekly newsletter


    I have been trying to find out ways of getting my members, and customers to go to my site and use it more. I started blogging, but customers are not alerted to the fact that there are new blogs to look at and get involved with.

     

    Members only get updates via email of events and emails that I send out.

     

    What would be great is a feature that I cannot find anywhere that enables someone who is blogging to update the members that there is something to read. I can see that there would need to be an opt in option for the customers to get notified of blogs, that are maybe sent out on a weekly basis as a news item. An email could then be sent out collating all the latest blog headers, with maybe the first sentence, and a read more to bring them back to this page.

     

    Currently I am having to do this manually and generate the email and send out links back to the site.

    I feel this is something that is missing and should be easy to add as a feature.



    Regards

    Bob, have you looked into using Feedburner (Now owned by Google) - we use it ourselves for Wild Apricot blog to provide email subscriptions to blog updates.
