    Hello,

    I was wondering if Studiopress has some sort of email subscribe plugin that can be used with their themes. Or do I need to turn to Aweber or Mailchimp?

    Also, does anyone recommend another email collecting service?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Kind regards,

    -Derek

    I think Genesis eNews Extended is the plugin you want.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-enews-extended/
    "Creates a new widget to easily add mailing lists integration to a Genesis website. Works with FeedBurner, MailChimp, AWeber, FeedBlitz and more."

    Thanks for your help Tom, appreciate that.

    So to a newbie like me who knows nothing about email subscriptions management, I am guessing that I need to setup an account with either MailChimp, AWeber or FeedBlitz? And basically the genesis news extended just acts as a gateway for MailChimp, AWeber or FeedBlitz?

    I'm trying to envision this whole thing. I thought that once I install the plugin (genesis enews extended) it does all the work for me, but I guess it's not that easy. Basically anyone in this day of age needs to be subscribed to either MailChimp, AWeber or FeedBlitz correct? So in the end we have no choice but to pay the monthly subscriptions at these places?

    Anyone can grab your RSS feed. A service provider account is necessary if you want to manage a subscriber list/s. MailChimp is free for up to 2000 subscribers
