E-mail subscriptions (1)

Email title or theme

Here you can determine the email’s title with our content. We have two fields, first one is for when our email has just one article, and the second one is for when there is more than one. We also have 3 variables we can make use of:

${latestItemTitle} – Title of your last article.
${n} – Total number of articles per email.
${m} – Email’s article count minus one. For example: if an email has 3 articles, m = 2.

So for example, for the first field we can define the next formatting:

${latestItemTitle} | Your Blog's Name

And for the second field, activating the option Change Subject when an email has 2 or more items, we’ll use this next format:

${latestItemTitle} and ${m} more articles | Your Blog's Name

Logo’s URL

To make a real mark you have the option to add your logo to every email, a 150 to 250 px in width picture in neutral colors can help you accomplish the task.

Typography Format

We’re also given to adjust color, size and typography for the articles contained on the email. In my opinion default values are pretty readable and only by a personal exception it won’t be necessary to modify them.

Now save the changes for the options to apply in the next venues.

Sender address

By default, the address shown on the sent emails is the one you registered with in feedburner, and not always this is the best option. The panel to change the sender address is found in:

Publicize ? Email subscriptions ? Communication Preferences.

The ideal would be an address like this one:
