FeedBurner BrowserFriendly Email Subscription Widget

Update: FeedBurner is effectively disabled and no longer supports BrowserFriendly widgets. This post is obsolete but left up for historical reference.

Google has disabled FeedBurner's email notification feature and with it Blogger’s FollowByEmail widget is going away. We have already shown how to replace a FeedBuner subscription widget on your website with FeedMail. However FeedBurner also supported a subscription widget in their BrowserFriendly feed preview.

In a few easy steps you can configure a replacement button using the FeedMail FeedBurner FlareUnit.

  1. Sign into FeedBurner
  2. Select the feed you wish to add an email subscription button to.
  3. Select "Optimize" from the navigation menu.
  4. Select the "BrowserFriendly" service.
  5. Click "More subscription options"

  6. Paste https://feedmail.org/a/feedburnerflareunit.xml into the URL field.
  7. Click "Add"
  8. Check the new "Email" button that appears. You may need to re-expand "More subscription options".
  9. Click "Save" at the bottom of the page.

Now if you view your feed you should seen an email subscription button!

DNS Outage

From 2024-08-26 19:46 to 2024-08-27 11:21 UTC FeedMail had an outage. Until 2024-06-26 20:34 FeedMail was completely down. For the remainder of the outage most emails not sent. It is expected that no feed updates were lost during this outage. Updates would only be lost if they were only present on the feed within the 50min of total outage. Most feeds ensure that updates are present for days so this would not be an issue. Notifications have been delayed and should be sent by 2024-08-27 12:31. This may take longer if your mail provider applies limits and FeedMail needs to retry delivery at a later time. Update : All delayed notifications have been sent successfully.

Digests are now Supported for Owner-Paid Feeds

Owner-paid feeds allow feed publishers to provide FeedMail to their subscribers at no cost. For example the FeedMail Blog is an owner-paid feed. Up until now digest subscriptions were not covered by owner-paid plans. Subscribers could select a digest but they would have to pay for the subscriptions themselves. Digests are now fully supported under owner-paid plans. For users: The owner-paid feeds in your digests no longer count towards the cost of the digest. For publishers: Users will now be able to receive your feed as a digest or included in one of their existing digests. You will be charged one credit for each digest issue containing items from your feed (no matter how many items from your feed are in that issue). Notably this cost will never be more than real-time subscriptions would be.

Digests Now Respect Category Filters

Due to an oversight category filters did not apply to digests. This has been corrected and future digests will be filtered by your selected categories. If you do not want this filtering to occur please update your filters to "Ignore selected categories" and deselect all categories to inactivate the filter.
