Comment on How to ping Feedburner automatically by Nigel

Great Article! I skipped the CRON job step by Using cbnet Ping Optimizer Plugin in WordPress and Inserting the URL http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/pingSubmit?bloglink=http%3A%2F%2FYour-URL-Here/ and just put my blog URL in the “Your-URL-Here”

You can also limit excessive pinging with cbnet ping optimizer. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cbnet-ping-optimizer/ . No affiliate link, just trying to be helpful.

Cheers!

Twitter is about communication.
Twitter is a conversation.
Twitter is about giving knowledge, taking knowledge and passing knowledge along.
Twitter is about sharing your ideas with others.
Twitter is not about hard-selling your product.
Twitter is not automatic.

Some of the issues I was having – it seems were related to conflict between this release and a Buddypress Activity Plus plugin.

Do you know if this is still the case with the recently released WP 3.2.1?

Comment on Build an email list with Feedburner by James Williams

James Williams — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 13:24:17 +0000

Yes, I certainly do understand your question.

Feedburner is essentially a RSS service and you can’t get subscriber emails from this service to transfer like another. If you are planning to go down this path, then you should consider further investigation of services like Mailchimp, MadMimi and the like. Both of these have free introductory plans that will allow you to start building your lists, without paying a cent. Madmimi is free for the first 100 people on your list, and then you can upgrade to 500 users for just $8 per month. It’s also dead-easy to use. You’ll find a link to MadMimi on my site.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
James

Hi Prasant. No Google+ Hangout doesn’t let you record at this point, although to me this seems like obvious low-hanging fruit for a future release. The recording we did was through our podcasting equipment (digital mixer). You could record video via screen capture software. Thanks for the question.
