Hi, I'm not sure if this is in the right section.

I'm new to the blogging world from a technical perspective. I have added a wordpress blog to one of mysites. I want to add an email subscribe to posts for my visits so that when a new post is published it is sent to the subscriber. I have an RSS on the blog but the market I target I think my visitors do not understand RSS. I also want to be able to use the subscribers email address so that I can email them a monthly newsletter with reviews and product offers. I have searched and cannot find a suitable plug in.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggest any code I can use?

You don't want code. Because of the nature of what you want to achieve you will need a plugin. Give this plugin a try. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-subscribe/

Thanks guys. I installed Xboxer360 suggestion which is great. However I now need a plugin to manage the email addresses, I installed Subscribe2 but I cant see the email addresses in detail. I have searched all afternoon but cannot find a plugin which will manage the email addresses, send out the new posts automatically and work with quick subscribe.

Hi

My site is www.chaircovers4u.co.uk and want use the subscribe to posts form from my blog (rsidebar) www.chaircovers4u.co.uk/blog on the index.html page. So rather than the visitor having to click into my blog to subscribe, they can also do it from the index.html page or any other page on my site. I'm guessing php would be the answer since I show 5 excerpts on my home page from the wordpress blog.

Hmm... you want to create that form on your index.html page, that exists inside your blog?

I believe we're heading for copy pasta ? xD
This is from your blog:

HTML Code:
<form id="quick_subscribe_form" action="http://www.chaircovers4u.co.uk/blog/index.php?" method="POST" name="quick_subscribe_form"><input id="QS_user_email_widget" type="text" onfocus="if(this.value=="E-mail") this.value=""" value="E-mail" name="QS_user_email_widget"/><input type="submit" value="Subscribe Now"/></form>
You wont even have edit the value in the attributes.
All you have to do is to insert the code into your index.html file, and all should be set ^^

hmm... yea... As I recall feedburner is a tool to make people able to subscribe to your blog.
But he already has that function on his blog. So the code I posted was how to display that "form" where you insert your email into his main page ^^

I hope I understood the question right ^^

Am I dead? xD
