Comments on: RSS Update (especially if you get Worship Matters by e-mail) http://www.worshipmatters.com/2008/03/rss-update-especially-if-you-get-worship-matters-by-e-mail/ Resources for Leading Worship from Bob Kauflin Tue, 13 May 2008 13:11:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Bob Kauflin http://www.worshipmatters.com/2008/03/rss-update-especially-if-you-get-worship-matters-by-e-mail/#comment-6994 Bob Kauflin Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:57:14 +0000 http://www.worshipmatters.com/2008/03/rss-update-especially-if-you-get-worship-matters-by-e-mail/#comment-6994 Nick, Thanks for the info. Feedblitz provides a great service, and I in no way wanted to slam their company. Nor do I have anything personal against them! The ad wasn't like much of what you can find on the Internet, but I decided I didn't want ads going with the email posts at all and didn't want to continue to pay for using the service when I could get my posts emailed for free. Sites that use Feedblitz can choose whether or not to pay for the service. If you don't pay for it, they include small ads which help cut down on their costs. In any case, thanks for letting me know that you've been pleased with it. Nick,

Before that I was subscribed through crosswalk, and although they sent ads, they were never offensive. Obviously the posts that used to be avaialble through the SG website didn't have ads. :-) Now this could be a result of having several spam filters between Feedblitz and my email account. It could also be because I always opt out of other mailings by default. Nevertheless, please don't judge Feedblitz prematurely--there are a lot of unscrupulous people on the internet, but there are also people who are genuinely interested in providing a useful service as well. I don't mind switching to Feedburner, but I personally won't have anything against Feedblitz when I do.
