Multiple Sub Blogs - One Email List

shullski — Wed, 07 Nov 2018 19:06:28 GMT

Hey all. We are launching a new blog refresh - and I was hoping to get some help with an issue we've been having - it has to do with multiple sub blogs, one aggregate page, and a unified email subscription list.

Our original blog has been online for a few years now, and we have managed to get a few thousand people subscribed to our mothly email list.

My boss recently came to be requesting that we switch to a setup like there is at blog.hubspot.com. More specifically - he wanted 4 sub-blogs that could be navigated to with its own set of tags... so that you could drill down two levels... into the sub-blog, and then into the specific tag (which we would like to be the different products we have).

I have managed to do all of this - and constructed an aggregate page that shows the most recent posts across all 4 sub-blogs.

The issue I am having is this:

Since our aggregate blog is only displaying posts from our 4 sub-blogs, and not technically posting them itself, no one would be notified in our monthly email that anything was posted. Is it possible to combine posts coming from all 4 sub-blogs and aggregate those to one single monthly email for our subscribers?

Alternatively:

Is it possible in any way to have multiple sub-blogs, with one subscription/email feed/list?

If it helps, these are currently all under the same subdomain.

blog.example.com - aggregate

blog.example.com/news

blog.example.com/etc...

Hi @shullski,

A few things you could consider looking at are using the blog RSS feed to create the email content, and then schedule the emails (or potentially use a workflow).

@MFrankJohnson do you have any recommendations for @shullski?

Thanks,
Jenny
