» My ‘WordBurner’ email newsletter tutorial on Nettuts

Nettuts screenshot

Nettuts is a popular tutorial website offering useful tips and tricks on web design and development. I wrote a tutorial on how to ‘Build a ‘WordBurner’ Email Newsletter Manager using WordPress and FeedBurner’ which was published on the site. I run through a technique to create and send email newsletters using the Wordpress blogging system combined with a service called FeedBurner.

The ‘WordBurner’ method was an idea that struck me when Miss Aniela asked me to provide her with the means to send out a newsletter. She already had a Wordpress blog which she was comfortable using and a FeedBurner RSS feed, so I combined the two to create this way of handling email updates.

This is the first tutorial I have written and I’m so pleased to see it up on Nettuts, the feedback seems positive too. Massive thanks to Collis for publishing it.
