How to Use Feedburner Email Subscription

Feedburner is a free, Google-owned service that provides great feed statistics and services to bloggers and other feed publishers.

Here’s how to use Feedburner email subscription:

1. Sign up — First of all, you’ll need to sign up for a Feedburner feed if you haven’t already.
2. Go to Feedburner.com and login
3. Click “My Feeds” in the upper-left-hand corner
4. Select your feed from the list
5. Click the “Publicize” tab
6. Click “Email Subscriptions” on the left
7. Make sure “Feedburner” is selected, and click “Activate”
8. Copy the HTML code in the box
9. Login to your WordPress blog’s administration area
10. Go to the “Appearance” section (a.k.a. “Design,” “Presentation,” or “Themes” in versions prior to 2.7)
11. If you’re using Widgets in your sidebar, click the “Widgets” sub-tab. Add a “Text” widget to the sidebar you want, and paste the HTML code in the configuration section. Save your changes, and that’s it!
12. If you’re not using widgets, you’ll need to have basic knowledge of HTML. First click the “Editor” or “Theme Editor” subpanel, and select “Sidebar” from the list. Usually sidebar modules go between <li></li> tags; some other themes use <div>. Paste the code in your sidebar between the appropriate set of tags in the location you want, click Save, and you’re DONE!

Hope it is that easy and straight forward.
