How to Add Your Logo and Other Customizations to Your Feedburner Email

customized cons (by :: K a t e y ::)

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.

  1. Login to Feedburner. (Create an account first if you don’t already have one.)
  2. Click on the name of your feed.
  3. Switch to the Publicize Tab
    publicize
  4. Click on Email Subscriptions in the left side navigation.
  5. Click on Email Branding on the submenu in the left side navigation
    branding
  6. There are a number of things you can set to customize your feedburner email.

    1. 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.
    2. Logo URL
    3. – 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.

    4. Headline Font and Size – you have a choice of 5 fonts for the headline and can adjust the size.
    5. Body Font and Size – you can set the font and the font size for the body text like you can for the headline.
    6. Body Color – the color of the email background can be changed.
    7. Item Headline/Body Link Color – the color for the all the links can be set to any color.

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.
