MailPress – Keep in Touch with Your Users!

Posted by on Sep 26, 2009 in Blogging, Cool things for your blog, WP Plugins • 2 comments

Keeping users attracted to your site once they have registered can be very hard, since you don’t have a good way of communicating with all of them. There are many tools that let you write e-mails to a user or maybe start a chat. But when you want to communicate with a lot of users at a time… You are left in the dark. One way of communicating with your users is to install a mail subscription plugin for wordpress. However most of these will not allow you to send professional looking e-mails. This is where Mailpress comes in, it creates professional HTML letters that can be set to all of your users at once the second you write a post. You can also send e-mails to all your users, if you want to give them a custom message. It takes a little bit to setup but once your done you will be able to communicate with your users no problem. If you are a good HTML and CSS coder you can even change the Mail press themes to look the way you want them to. Although at the moment there are just 4 Mailpress themes to choose from they are very easy to edit since they use inline CSS styling. I have recently installed mailpress on this website. I am still troubleshooting a bit, but in time I hope to make it run smoothly. I highly recommend this to all bloggers who want to keep their users after their first visit.

If you are interested in downloading this plugin you can get it from this link: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mailpress/

You can also download it from the “add new” plugin feature for wordpress 2.7+

    Hello,

    Regarding mailpress, is it possible to remove the theme header, so that I can use my own headers in my mailpress emails/newsletters?

    Thanks for your help?

    yes, it is possible. The picture of the mailpress logo is located in the images folder, you can try replacing it with your image. if that does not work look in your template folder and in the header.php file. Next find the path to the header image, replace it with the path to your image. Make sure to place your image in the images folder of your template.
