That's not what I'm trying to do.

There are no plugins here, but this DOES work. Check the instructions here again:<br /> <a href="http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/11/how-can-i-offer-email-updates/" rel="nofollow">http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/11/how-can-i-offer-email-updates/</a></p> <p>And remember not to surf around Feedburner looking for advice on Wordpress blogs; they are almost invariably talking about the OTHER kind of Wordpress. </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/adding-rss-email-feed#post-337864 Sat, 09 May 2009 14:29:20 +0000 libbieg 337864@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>Ok, so I discovered you can't have plug-ins on a WP hosted blog. Does this mean it's not possible to have the RSS bug on my site?</p> <p>Libbie </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/adding-rss-email-feed#post-337859 Sat, 09 May 2009 14:14:17 +0000 libbieg 337859@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>From the Feedburner pdf file I downloaded: </p> <p>Activate the plugin by logging into your WordPress administration area, going<br /> to Plugins, then clicking Activate at the end of the ‘FeedBurner FeedSmith’<br /> row.<br /> 3. Begin the configuration by going to Options then clicking on the FeedBurner<br /> submenu.</p> <p>I'm not finding my admin area or my plugins.

However, that didn't work. I followed all the steps and now on my blog there's a link to Feedburner showing my stats. That's not what I'm trying to do. I simply want to add the RSS logo and allow readers to subscribe for email notifications when my blog is updated. Why does this seem to be so difficult?</p> <p>Thanks again,</p> <p>Libbie </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/adding-rss-email-feed#post-337854 Sat, 09 May 2009 14:01:38 +0000 trent 337854@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>Take a look at this one:</p> <p><a href="http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/11/how-can-i-offer-email-updates/" rel="nofollow">http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/11/how-can-i-offer-email-updates/</a></p> <p>Trent </p> http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/adding-rss-email-feed#post-337851 Sat, 09 May 2009 13:55:20 +0000 libbieg 337851@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ <p>I've been fighting this for at least the past hour: will someone please tell me in very simple English how to insert an email sign-up RSS link to my site? Think of explaining it to your grandmother! "Burn your feed" (a quote from the official instructions) doesn't tell me anything. I've created the Feedburner bit, but the instructions lead me to automatic inserts for Blogger &#38; Typepad. I don't need music downloads. I just want my readers to get email feeds. </p> <p>Please, very simply, tell me what to do to link that to my Wordpress site. Thank you very much.</p> <p>Libbie </p>
