Feedburner vs. regular email?

[michaelcarter]

Hi'ya Guys,

I'm lost when it comes to the whole feedburner thing and what needs to be plugged into where however I hate having unused portions of my website (with the Angel theme it would be the top right email entry box).

Is there a way to turn on that function WITHOUT having to use feed burner? ie: keep it all running internally?

I tried to setup feedburner account but now I read I might need a plugin to do it? when I input the feedburner ID in the theme options I now get...

"This Feed Does Not Have Subscriptions By Email Enabled".

I'd rather keep things internal if at all possible. Ideas? thoughts? Suggestions? Website: www.hadean.org

Cheers,
Michael
