Hi, first post, very pleased to be a part of Webmaster World.

I have recently added a RSS feed as a way of giving visitors updates on a 3,000 page rollout of my newspaper obituary directory site , with the option to get the feed to their email Inbox.

I used Feedburner (Google) to set it up, because I know little about RSS and the setup was user-friendly and simple.

I would like to know if any of you know of a user-friendly alternative to feedburner as the email updates being sent by Feedburner:

1
have a link to get people to sign up to the Google Reader larger (in font size) than the subject header of the email.

2
A ridiculous offer to unsubscribe to the updates by mailing (yes, snail mail)a letter to a Google address in Chicago.
