MailChimp + WordPress = perfect e-news

If you’re a busy person, you don’t need to be managing a mailing list in one place and sending newsletters from another. I’ve spent much time recently migrating lists from email address books and contact management programs to online emailing services, so this article is written from that perspective and after much experimenting and experience with a number of the most popular email marketing services, I’ve decided to stick with MailChimp for the time being, since they currently offer the most options for the least money (not to mention great customer service).

Installing and testing self-hosted content management systems

Comparing apples to oranges. Over the years I’ve installed and tried out countless CMS, CRM and similar applications, usually open source.

Debugging MailChimp RSS-to-Email from WordPress Custom Feed

I spent nearly 2 solid days trying to figure out why the latest posts on one of my clients’ sites were not showing up in the “popup preview” provided by email marketing site MailChimp. I love http://MailChimp.com, but this had me stumped and my eyes were beginning to cross. I had already spent countless hours learning how to create a custom RSS feed, template and query in Wordpress (future, much bigger article).
