If you’re a wordpress user, I suggest checking out jetpack, it’s a free plug-in made by the creators of WordPress (Matt Mullenweg / Automattic).

The site stats are easy to use: it’s great having all of my blog stuff in one place. I no longer need to look at google analytics… not that there’s much to look at! HA!

What seems especially cool is a new feature that’s included in the latest release: email subscriptions. I currently use google’s feedburner (for my ministry’s blog), but am planning drop that and move to jetpack. Four reasons:

1. The subscription process is a lot cleaner with jetpack.

2. Everything is in one place, I won’t have to switch over to feedburner.google.com.

3. I can see who is subscribed to the list, and this is the number one factor for me.

4. Peace of mind that it’ll “play well” with wordpress.

5. People who subscribe through feedburner will still get email updates…so the switch is painless and seamless.

 

Getting ministry information to parents and students is a high priority for me, so I’m stoked when there’s a better way to make this happen. AND IT’S FREE! How great is that?
