I have the exact same isuue and question. Did you find a resolution? There are too many people that will not/can not manage an RSS feed. A simple email susbscription is needed.

Well, I found this:

Bloglet is rejecting RSS feeds with dates in the following format: "Tue, 21 Oct 2003 24:56:21 -0500". Its probably a good idea to change your date to adhere to the XML-RPC spec, found here: http://www.xml-rpc.com/spec.

Then looking at the RSS feed from B2 I found:

<pubDate>Fri, 07 Oct 2005 17:58:21 +0000</pubDate>

So the formatting of the RSS date may be the issue, that is my best guess.

Unfortunately, I don't have a clue how to fix it. :(

I found a solution for you.

http://www.feedblitz.com

It works in a similar fashion to bloglet, except that it actually works, and seems to be being supported. Looking at bloglet, it doesn't seem the owner has paid the site any attention in a long time.

Did you try the rss2 feed or rdf?

I was using rdf until that stopped working with bloglet, then I used my feedburner feed, and that worked until 2 days ago. Nothing about the feeds have changed, so it's bloglet's fault, I presume.

I almost switched over to Feedblitz, but I don't the complexity of their email subscription process. I also don't like that you have to pay to customize more than one feed (I don't like the appearence of the default emails - too much feedblitz header). I wish they had a redirect option to direct new subscribers back to my blog as soon as they hit the subscribe button.

I like RssFwd as an option, but I can't manage any new subscribers.

http://www.r-mail.org/

Rmail is good with the frequency of site feed polls, but I still can't manage subscribers, nor can they choose to receive html emails. I got Bloglet to work again with my feeds by unchecking "hide this blog."

I'm trying to get bloglet to work and I get the date error mentioned:

"String was not recognized as a valid DateTime."

Any solutions out there? If not, is there any comparable solution where I can move over my subscribers so they can get email notifications?

After comparing email subscription solutions, I've found the best way to go is to create a Google Group that is announcement only. Post a subscription box on your b2evo blog and have each new post sent to yourgroupsnamehere@googlegroups.com. The way to do this is with a admin hack that can be found [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=2510]here.[/url]

Google Groups will send an email to every subscriber with each new post. You have a lot of control over your subscribers.

My second best option (suggestion) is to go with [url=http://www.rssfwd.com]RssFwd[/url] because they check your rss feed hourly for updates. You have no subscriber control with rssfwd, though.

I don't like Feedblitz because they have an annoying orange banner at the top of every email sent to your subscribers (unless you want to pay $4.95/month).
