Thanks for the reply. You’re right, I’m using wordpress.com. If I wanted to use wordpress.org, I’d have to purchase my own domain and pay for hosting somewhere, right?

@Neil: Are you using WordPress.com or WordPress.org? It sounds like you're using WordPress.com, since they don't allow form code. Unfortunately there's not much you can do about it, as far as I know. Self-hosted WordPress.org installations on the other hand should let administrators add form code, so if you're using WordPress.org with an admin account and it's still removing the code, then it's probably a plugin or theme that's removing it, so I'd try disabling all plugins and reverting to the default theme to see if that's causing it.

Hi John,
I recently installed Feedburner and some of my subscribers are having issues activating their subsciptions. I have several “unverified” subscribers, one being my sister, and she said she entered her email address but never got an email to confirm the subscription. I fear that others are having that same issue. Any advice?

I got the name thing figured out; it was under Feedburner’s “Email Branding” settings. But if you have a suggestion about how I might be able to use the form code instead of the link code, I’m all ears.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the helpful info, John. I’ve just moved from Blogger to WordPress and changed the name of my blog. I’ve got a question. Sorry, it’s a little convoluted – I’ll explain as best I can.

I couldn’t get the FB Subscription Form Code to work right. I paste it in and then when I click “save,” everything disappears except:
Enter your email address:Delivered by FeedBurner.

I checked, and I am listed as an administrator, so I don’t know what that’s about, but the upshot is that I’m using the Subscription Link Code instead. That’s working fine, and the link text says “Subscribe to “new name of blog” by email,” but when somebody goes to the subscribe page, the message says “FeedBurner activates your subscription to “OLD name of blog” once you respond to this verification message.” I can’t figure out how to change that. I’ve changed the name in the FB “edit feed details” section, but the old name is still hanging around someplace. If I need to use the Subscription Link Code instead of the Subscription Form code, it would be awesome if the message on the subscribe page had the current name of the blog. Any idea where/how to change that?

Thanks very much!

Actually… never mind I figured it out. For anyone else that’s curious. Go to myfeeds/publicize/email subscriptions/preview subscription links/right click on pop up page (or ctrl click for mac) see page source = feedburner email service url.

Hi,
I am totally new to blogging and trying to figure some things out. I installed a widget called subscription options “subscription options” and am trying to add email subscription through freeburner. The widget asks for the freeburner email service URL and I can’t figure out how to find that. Do you have any idea what that is or how I find it? Please explain very basically if you do as I’m just getting started. I appreciate any help you can give.

thanks, RT.
