How To Add “Post Titles” In Feedburner Email Subscriptions To Your Hyperlocal Blog Articles

by Steve Sherron on July 3, 2009

Hello everyone, just a quick post here on Bloggerlens as we get ready for the 4th of July. I hope all of you have a tremendous weekend and each and everyone of you gain at least 3 lbs. from drinking beer and eating hotdogs. Drop the diet this weekend and enjoy it.

Everyone who has a blog and offers e-mail subscriptions through Feedburner may find this helpful. When people subscribe to your blog, they usually receive the e-mail with a static blog title that you set up in Feedburner. Now, you can go into your “Publicize E-mail” section and add a bit of code that will deliver your subscriptions with the latest title that you used.

Just add ${latestItemTitle} to your e-mail subject line. I’ve just added this to my feedburner for Bloggerlens. I’m going to also add it to my hyperlocal blog, Monroe Scoop also. I’ll check my e-mail tomorrow to see if the feature works as they claim. I hope so. I think your subscribers will be more encouraged to open and read articles when they see a relevant title in their in-box.

Bloggerlens. Hyperlocal Blog. Feedburner Options

That’s all for today. Just a heads up that may be helpful to all of my hyperlocal brothers & sisters.
