When I setup the Query-Free Freelancer blog, I needed it to operate as a free membership site (to control access to the members-only downloads) while also operating a member newsletter. I like to use Feedblitz for email subscriptions and newsletters when possible, but at the time there was no good way to have members sign up for both without forcing them to sign up twice–once for the site and  once for the newsletter.

I mentioned on Twitter that integration would be a nice feature, and the folks at Feedblitz looked into it and made it happen. The result is their new Feedblitz Member Mail WordPress plugin.

When you activate the plugin, users will have a checkbox on your registration page for WordPress that lets them agree to signup for your Feedblitz newsletter or email subscription at the same time. They check the box. They register. And then you’ll see them in both your Feedblitz and WordPress member lists–incredibly simple.

So if you want to put together a similar setup with your blog, now you can!
