OK, this is driving me nuts. I'm clearly getting too old for the internet malarky.

Short and sweet version:

1) Need to set up a blog which will essentially act as a newsletter posting service (this I have done)

2) I understand the concept of using RSS / atom feeds to keep up to date on developments. I've managed to get that working too.

But:

3) I want to enable some kind of subscription service so that the people interested in the newsletters can sign up to it. Essentially: I put up a new post. They automatically get an instant email notification with the contents of that post.

This just doesn't seem possible :eek:

I've delved into feedburner and tried setting up things in the publicizing (frikking zs everywhere!). But that only appears to send a daily update to email subscribers, so no good. Then there's also a PingShot thingy which claims to update the feed watchers automatically, but that doesn't appear to work.

I've subscribed by email, but I'm yet to receive any email with the posts I've just added. :confused:

How frikkin hard do they have to make it :crazy:

Which blog are you using?

It used to work that way on Blogger.

Yeah using blogger.

I've added the email subscription widget, put my email addy in, received the confirmation email and all that.

In feedburner, I can see that my email address is listed as an active subscriber. But in the "Delivery Options", you have to specify a two-hour daily window.

Now there's this PingShot thingy.

But I don't think that's related. Enabling it doesn't appear to provide emails any quicker.

We use feedburner on the briskoda blog. Typically it takes around 24 hours for feedburner to send out the email.
