Newsletter plugins
Right then, which Newsletter plugin shall we use? I receive lots of Newsletters created by MailChimp, Aweber, ConstantContact and CampaignMonitor, but none generated by native WordPress plugins. On my Drupal sites I’ve successfully combined the Simplenews module with the node embed module, and some hand coded template files to issue newsletters where the content comes directly from the site. That’s my objective for WordPress-pompey… so how do I do it? And if I am able to achieve it what are the pros and cons of this versus using a dedicated mailing solution? I mean, I’ve got a developers licence for GravityForms so wouldn’t it make sense to use the add-ons for MailChimp, AWeber or CampaignMonitor?
