How to Add Your Logo and Other Customizations to Your Feedburner Email
Quite a few people subscribe to blogs via email as well as RSS – I have a number of them.
Call me slow on the uptake, but recently I noticed a couple of features for feedburner email that will allow for some minor customizations.
You can add a logo for your site and you can add the title of your article to the subject line and heading of the email.
Here’s how to do it.
- Login to Feedburner. (Create an account first if you don’t already have one.)
- Click on the name of your feed.
- Switch to the Publicize Tab
- Click on Email Subscriptions in the left side navigation.
- Click on Email Branding on the submenu in the left side navigation
- Email Subject/Title – if you add ${latestItemTitle} to the email subject line, the name of the article will be in the subject line and title of the email. If there is more than one post, you can click on the box that says Change Subject Line when email has 2 or more items, and you will get additional choices for customization. Before I added the title my subject line only had the name of this site.
- Logo URL
- Headline Font and Size – you have a choice of 5 fonts for the headline and can adjust the size.
- Body Font and Size – you can set the font and the font size for the body text like you can for the headline.
- Body Color – the color of the email background can be changed.
- Item Headline/Body Link Color – the color for the all the links can be set to any color.
There are a number of things you can set to customize your feedburner email.
– You can add the URL to a logo that exists on a server that Feedburner can access. The logo has to be in .jpg, .gif, and .png formats and shouldn’t be bigger than 200 by 200px.
The bottom of the Email Branding screen will show you what you changes look like. Here is mine with the title of the post added to the headline and my logo.
Make sure you save all of your changes.
Now you have a slightly customized feedburner email.

It seems like most non-bloggers use email subscriptions rather than RSS.

Hi Vered – I have a confession. I’ve started using email subscriptions
again … I just don’t have time to go through my feeds. I need to clean them out …

I use email a lot of the times now too. I check my feed less these days; maybe twice a week. Email is so much more streamlined for me.

I’ve already been using the subject for some time now and will try and get the logo for the email too. Although I font really understand where to save the image for feedburner.

Hi Manshu – I love it!! I haven’t actually been to your site because I get your posts via email. It’s great!!!
Feedburner will let you upload it from your computer – it just needs to be a certain size to work best.

I recently found the subject line thing myself. lol
I also have a feedburner post in draft; this will make a nice backlink for more info. ;)

Hi Yashpal – You would need to select the correct feedburner options to have those items show up in your feed. I believe what you are looking for is under Optimize > Browser Friendly.
This article, however, is about subscriptions by email – not the RSS feed.
