How to get feedburner email list to send your images.
If your feedburner images are not showing up for your subscribers, this could be the problem.
After setting up my feedburner email list and editing it the way I wanted for my blog I was puzzled why it did not include a picture in the emails.. I knew it had to be something simple but I could not find any instructions or settings on the feedburner website. I also could not find any answers anywhere by searching google. (That is why I put this article up.) It is a very simple solution, almost obvious.
I remembered that there are settings for feeds in the blog administration area itself. I use a wordpress blog. Here is what I did to get the images to show:
Go to “Settings” and “reading” and where it says “For each article in a feed show: the bullet the option “full text.
That solved the problem. A small victory with a simple solution.
How to set up a Feedburner Email list:
Log in using your Google account log-in info. If you don't already have one, you can create one for free, which should be an option on the current page.
After logging in, you'll get a window which includes a subhead saying something like, "Burn a feed this instant." Enter your blog address in the text field and click Next.
Choose from Atom or RSS, it doesn't matter which (I chose Atom, which is what the Laurel Daniel bunch uses). Click Next.
You will be asked to enter a feed title. This is usually the the title of your blog, but if you have a long blog title, use a shorter rendition of it here. In the Feed Address field, there should be a suffix already entered. That entire address, including the "http://...." part in black directly above the suffix is your Feed Redirect Address. It may also be called your "site feed addresss." Click Next.
The next window or one after should say "Congratulations! You just burned a feed," or something similar. If not, follow the prompts until you get such a message. Somewhere along in this process, you should get a message about verifying your feed. Follow the instructions on how to do that when you see it.
While still logged in to your Feedburner account, click "My Feeds" near the top left of the Feedburner window.
Next, click on your Feed Title in the list (If you only have one blog, only one title will be listed). This brings up a series of tabs. Click on Publicize.
Along the left side of the next window, click on Email Subscriptions.
Select and copy all the text in the scrollable text field to the right, as the instructions say. (There are two text fields. Choose the first one (scrollable) with the large amount of code.)
Back in the Blogger Dashboard, click on the Layout tab > Page Elements. Click on one of the Add a Gadget hashed buttons. In the resulting list of gadgets, select the third gadget down, "HTML/Javascript."
Enter a title for your gadget (something lilke, "Sign up to receive email updates from Roxanne," e.g.)
Paste the code you copied from Feedburner into the larger text entry field that follows the title entry field.
Save and publish and it should be on your page live. You may want to rearrange the gadgets in the Layout tab, but if not, you're all set.
