# Replace Google/Feedburner with something else?

 * Currently using the “BFA subscribe” widget and Feedburner option in BFA Atahualpa
   theme. Like so many others, I am unable to reach my Feedburner account since 
   Google took it over, and would like to regain a little control of feeds.
 * Main need is for people to be able to subscribe to several blogs (WordPress blogware,
   hosted on various domains) by e-mail or by RSS feed browser notification – nothing
   fancier than that. I would like to be able to collect a mailing list to see who’s
   reading; full statistics would be nice but not necessary. These blogs have only
   a few readers – not thousands – and only get updated every few days.
 * There are several plugins that seem to do the same thing, but none seems to have
   many downloads or ratings. There are also numerous web pages and forum posts 
   suggesting services like Mailchimp (currently free at my use level) and Feedblitz,
   as well as WordPress.
 * Thought I understood the basic idea of feeds, but more recent trends like aggregation
   and connection to social media (not of interest for these blogs) make it all 
   harder to follow. Can anyone here please point to a simple primer on getting 
   basic feed services into WordPress? And will deleting the BFA Subscribe plugin
   and Atahualpa theme Feedburner settings effective disable the Feedburner account,
   or will it remain forever able to scrape these sites?
 * Thanks for any help.

 * Going through pretty much the same thing — have seen a lot of self-hosted RSS
   plugins, which surprised me.
 * There is no one solution — you have to stand back and think of what you want,
   which you seem to have started doing. There are tons of blogs that are wondering
   what to do next as well as how to keep their subscribers instead of starting 
   over again.
 * Came across this article, which seems to be heading in the right direction…
