I would like to see the subscription function just like for the forum. I would also like to see members be able to subscribe to the blogs of their choice through their profile (just like with forums). As it stands, we have to manually do a email blast and it blasts everyone.

This is so essential for a blog. Please add this.

The use case of having content go both to a blog and to an email blast must be pretty common out there and the current cut-and-paste workaround is not suitable for many users.

A bit astonished that after nine years nothing has been done to advance this!

Did it really take 8 years to acknowledge this needed and widely supported improvement?

Agreed. Another way to do this would be to have a news/blog item gadget to pull a blog post (or posts) into an existing email template. Basically you would have the ability to pull news items into an email newsletter.

I asked for this a few years ago. Now I see that it is a popular request. Any idea when it might be coming? I see in other wishlist items that comprehensive improvements to the blog feature are underway. I sure hope this is included!

Love this post! Exactly what we need: "I'd like to see this as an option for admins only. You're writing up a blog post, and there's a checkbox at the bottom to allow you to email the posting to a saved contact list (like you do when sending emails) if it's applicable for that posting."

Ditto. Looking for zapier and IFTTT workarounds to send an email when blog posts with a specific tags are published.

Option to automatically blast email to select lists on newly added News Items or Blog posts. Would be a tremendous time saver as both require a lot of manual effort.

Hi.

It's great that you offer blogs, but RSS is not as popular as email. IFTTT and other email service providers offer am ability to take RSS feeds, and automatically transmit them as emails.

It would be great if you could POST to a blog, and have that sent out as email to various specified email lists.

Thank you.

I check in quarterly to see if Wildapricot can provide us a subscription notification for blog posts. NAEPSDP would like this functionality.
Thank you!

This would be a great feature! We use google blogger just because of that automated feature.

We have a page titled "News" that only administrators can post to. would it be possible for an automated email to be sent to subscribers whenever there is a new post?

We would also like to be able to do something similar. Actually the preference would be to have an email address for the blog which we can copy emails to and have them automatically posted to the blog. Squarespace allows us to do this for example.

I would find this feature very useful (just launched our Wild Apricot site on 01OCT2015).
