Buddy can you clarify the widget a little more. Like what actually it does. I could see only sharing buttons at the bottom of makeuseof.com
I am sharing a plugin, which will let visitors to copy a embedded HTML code of your blog link. Hope this would be appreciated too. :>
@Raheem
Mailchimp is recommended for bloggers with over 10K readers and who wish to better interact with their readers and make sales. Therefore feedburner is a better choice because its free.
Always welcomed :)
Mustafa bro,i searched makeuseof.com and got a post i was referring you to!

@shahbaz
ReplyDeleteI get you now. It is a Jquery call function that is triggered when a user clicks/activates a specified object. I will create a post on it soon. Thanks for the great idea. :>
@Mohammad Mustafa Ahmedzai you welcome bro!
ReplyDelete@Mohammad Mustafa Ahmedzai i contacted them few days ago and they said i should have a WP blog in order to have that "a sort of plugin", therefore i asked you for an alternative or same thing like that for BLOGGER! i will be waiting for your post! :)
ReplyDeletethanks
Sorry for commenting after a long time.Had a small query which only you could solve. By gods grace have got a decent list of subscribers but the problem is i dont know how to send custom e-mails to them in feedburner. Is it possible? If yes how? By custom e-mail i mean say i want to send wishes for a festival to all readers but dont want an article for the same on my website.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Harsh
@shahbaz khan
ReplyDeleteAlmost everything works by plugins in WP. Whether it may include programming or not. So of course this functionality could be added in blogger although it makes no sense because even if the reader does not share the post, the link is visible? You can simply download the file without sharing the post.
@Bhavesh
at your service captain. :)
@Parigyan
Always welcomed buddy. :>
@harsh
Long time harsh! :)
Conratx for the subscribers increase. Keep posting. More power harsh!
Well for that you will need aweber or mailchimp two premium services. They will shift all your feedburner email subscribers to their server and provide you with an option to directly interact with all. Not possible with free feedburner though. But it is Google so this functionality can be introduced very soon. :)
@Mohammad
ReplyDeleteIn reply to Shahbaz Khan:
That's what I need you to overcome. There is one service, I don't remember the name, which allows you to create such buttons where people subscribe and download but instead the link is visible even if we they didn't subscribed or liked or tweeted.

ReplyDeleteThanks for this awesome tutorial! Everything worked except when I try to change my Original Feed I get this error message "Received HTTP error: "Not Found" while fetching source feed." I literally just published my new WP site and it's live (designedbydawnnicole.com). Do I just need to give it more time before it will work properly. (My domain name is the same as I took it with me during the move from Blogspot but my Original Feed had the "blogspot" part in the URL (previously is was http://designedbydawnnicole.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default but now it should just be http://designedbydawnnicole.com/feed/). Hope this makes sense and thanks SO much!!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI followed the steps for migrating feedburner and my suscribers went from over 1,500 to less than 400? Any ideas?
Hey, i have a problem. i followed exactly your article, but on my new site the name of feedburner did not change. It remained with the old. "Gatodiakritikos". But when i log in to my feedburner account the title has been changed to "pasaporti". what might be happen here?
ReplyDeleteI did everything then got this message from wordpress on the last step.
ReplyDeleteAlthough you have turned the plugin on, you have not specified a feedburner feed for your primary feed. Your feeds will not redirect
This did not work for me at all, I installed the feedburner plugin and once I activated it it gave me a 500 error code, had to contact my host and have them remove it for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, after so much struggle you gave me just the right answer.
ReplyDeleteThank you - this was fantastic
ReplyDeleteThank you for your help! I recently saw a huge dip in my subscribers after migrating from Blogger to Wordpress. I had no idea my feed wasn't working anymore. Thank you for helping me figure out how to fix it!
ReplyDeleteI have a network wordpress site, each subfolder has his own feed how can i make all this feeds into a single one with feedburner
ReplyDeletethank you very much!! It worked for me! Even though you posted it in 2012 it helped me now ! Thank you very much!
