Ron;

I’ll have another look, but I didn’t see it.

Jacques,

1. is not correct. Subscribe2 has an extensive control panel. Both admin and uses can decide which categories are sent – no mods are required.

Ron;

Ken asked me to set up with FeedBlitz, for two quite sensible reasons:

1. subscribe2 does not distinguish between categories. All posts on the blog are sent. Ken wanted a Missing Link only feed, which was possible with the FeedBlitz service.

2. FeedBlitz carries the technical can. Ken made it pretty clear that’s how he wanted things to be.

You could correctly argue that the subscribe2 module could be modified to handle per-category subscriptions, but essentially Ken wanted something which was immediately available.

And for people who want to track their various comments on different blogs I use http://www.cocomment.com/ which is much better than manually pasting URLs into Excel. My conversations on various blogs on coComment are here. .

I can't see a real need to pay for such things when there are so many open source solutions around. Here's a Wordpress plugin that I use at patrickwhite.ozewriters.com and it works very well. It sends out the emails immediately the post is published. subscribe2
