Can Aweber Automatically generate a WordPress Login?

Hey guys, I'm currently playing around with something and I'm having a little problem!

I want people to automatically get subscribed to my blog when they sign up on my squeeze page. The form on my squeeze page is an aweber form.

So this my desired process:

customer comes to my squeeze page, s/he opt's in and get's sent the "please confirm" message from aweber.

The aweber email also contains an individual login username and password for my customer to log onto the blog.

When he confirms s/he is taken to the blog where he is prompted to sign in.

Is there a way that I could integrate the whole process or would I have to use some sort of fulfilment service?

Thanks guys

    This is a good idea and it is going on my to-do list, but how would the system register the user and receive the password to pass to the subscriber? Is there some form of interface on a wordpress blog that allows this? I'm new to wordpress since I do all of my stuff in Ruby on Rails.

    I never heard of anything like this.

    There are solutions the other way around: if they register to your blog they can be added to your aweber list (there is a plugin).

    If you have them already on your list... what's the point to force them to login to your blog, instead of just let them read it. (just curious)

    I don't understand what a fulfillment service would do in this process? They print books and CDs and DVDs and ship them.

    You could keep a private wordpress blog (hidden from SERPS) and then create a standard user login, which you send via aweber...

    Another option could be to manipulate the WP php files, and use the registration page as your squeeze page.

    So instead of actually signing up to your mailing list, they'll register to your blog, then you would use a plugin to add them to aweber at the same time...

    Hope that made sense...

      Thought of doing that and to be honest that's probably my best bet!

      Yep, tried to do this but it looks quite bad. The problem I have with this is the double opt-in, I don't want people to be getting two different confirmation emails when they opt-in

        Yes... It would require some hardcore php editing to make it look pretty... You can use a plugin like register plus to make them set their own password and make WP NOT send confirmation email...
