Blogsend--Email Notification for 10 or Less

If you have a list of 10 or fewer people that you'd like to send email notifications of each time you publish a new post, here's how. Go to your Dashboard. Click on Settings. Click on Email. Enter email addresses, ten or less, separated by commas. Be sure to Save Settings at bottom of page. Each "notification" is actually a copy of the entire post. For email notification of a larger group or that has the option to include less of the post, see my post, Subscription List.

Subscription List--Google Groups

How Others Subscribe To Your Blog

Go to Create Google Group Create the group for your blog. Once created, click Visit Your Group and at the Home page click "Group Settings", located on the right side of the screen. Find "Get a promotion box for your website" and click it. It will show some code (probably 2 sets) for you to copy. Select the second. Return to your blog. Paste the copied text into an html/javascript page element. Go to your Dashboard. Go to Settings. Click Email tab. Enter the email for your Google Group in Blogsend Address. Click Save Settings. The blog will email the group and the group will email everyone on the list.

Everyone who subscribes will be sent an email copy of each new post, but there are options so you (or other individual subscribers) may select various forms of abridgement instead of the full post. How do you want to read this group?

Many people use that.

How do I create a group?

1. Go to the Blogger Help Group forum and look in various locations where it says "Create a group". There is one under the Reply under each question. There's one at the bottom of most pages. 2. If you create a group there, you can add multiple email addresses at one time. Be sure to mark them all to recieve all email notifications. 3. You will be given an email address for the Google Group; copy it. 4. Then, in your blog, go to Settings - Email - Blogsend Address. 5. Enter or paste the email address you were given in the Google Group. Save Settings and you should be through.
