FeedBurner email subscription not enabled

People visit your site, love your content and want to be notified by email when you post more of that awesome content. So, you install a subscription plugin and configure it with your FeedBurner Email Subscription Feed. When you check it out using a test email you are greeted with an error that says “The feed does not have subscriptions by email enabled.” Huh? I saw this after configuring a plugin.

After some digging in Goggle, “FeedBurner email subscription not working”, “FeedBurner email subscription not enabled”, I realized that I had not told FeedBurner (Google) to allow email subscriptions. Hmmm.

Check this setting:

feedburner1

Links to feedburner.google.com

1. Log into FeedBurner account

2. Click on the Publicize tab

3. Select “Email Subscriptions” under SERVICES

4. Check to see whether the services is active or inactive.

5. Activate if needed.

I’m using Genesis eNews Extended plugin from Brandan Kraft  so I don’t need all the code that you see on the page.

Creating fading site dividers

When I set out googling “site dividers”, I was not even sure what to call what I was looking for. I’m trying to design a “minimalist” looking WordPress site like the one at Copyblogger. After googling and reading for a few minutes, I came across a post from 2008 called “Creating Fading Site Dividers”. It sounded promising so I checked it out and BINGO! It was exactly what I was looking for.

If you are looking for a way to make site dividers, this is one way. While I’m sure there are more, this was the first one I found and it worked for me.

Caveat – I don’t have PhotoShop (which is what the nice person is using in the documentation). I use the Gimp for on my MacBook Air and it worked the same because the terminology is so close.

So, with thanks to , here is the link from Design Shack.

We use Genesis

The Genesis framework, developed and maintained by the team at StudioPress, is a child theme (framework) for WordPress. Since we use WordPress, it made sense for us to use a standard framework to quickly and efficiently develop websites. This approach allows us to provide competitively priced websites to small businesses and ministries.

Why we use Genesis

  • genesis-by-studiopressThemes and Plugins – StudioPress themes and plugins are developed and tested to work together. And they are WordPress themes, so other plugins still work with Genesis.
  • Fast – Genesis powered WordPress sites are fast. Our websites typically rate a “B” or better in “YSlow” before any performance optimization. Test our site.
  • Responsive – Many Genesis themes are designed to work “responsively” across multiple devices. Sites developed with responsive themes will look great across a variety of desktop, mobile and tablet browsers. “Squeeze” this site on a mobile device for an example. [Read more...]
