Please help me make a choice

Aren't those the kinds of questions OTHERS will ask YOU?

You CAN'T create subdomains! Oh SURE, if you want to use EXISTING functionality, you could do it through subdomains, but NO domain would be complete, and people would be bugged NO END! css is NO good without HTML! php is often NO good without HTML. Of the three things java is used for, TWO are NO GOOD without HTML! XML may have HTML data or be related to HTML, PHP, or JAVA. So CLEARLY you should allow a subscriber to deal with any related issues.

The answer to your question is an intelligent autoresponder of sorts and/or an automated ticket/query system. That can often be done with PHP.

*****ONE PROBLEM*****!!!!!!!! 90% of stuff people have to do with PHP, or JAVA, is stuff that probably over 90% of the public does NOT know how to do! It is often NOT covered in ANY publication! So HOW do they bypass that? By using SQL databases, where it is less of an issue. But you didn't mention SQL, even though MOST PHP and JAVA code today uses it.

You can set up more than one autoresponder. If you create one page on html tips & tutorials, you can have an opt in box on that page saying sign up here for html tips. Do the same thing for your java page.

If you structure it this way, I might have the first 10 or so emails be about that specific coding language then transition over to generic tips that can be repeated on any of the autoresponder series. Later when you create new posts about a specific code you can send out one-off emails to the applicable list.

It's not a bad thing to segregate your lists, just takes a bit more planning & a bit more effort. You'll find lots of marketers separate out their lists only usually its a list of prospects, a separate list for buyers, etc.

Maybe later down the road you can branch out & create a separate domain if you find one of the topics is just more responsive than the others.

Set up separate lists within your auto responder. One of your first emails out... ask your opt-ins to fill out a short survey to ensure you service their needs properly. Then simply set up your lists by the response.

Thank you all for your responses.@seasoned what ur point? autoresponder vs subdomain?

On one of my WordPress blogs, I installed a plugin that allowed people to subscribe to the RSS feed of their choice. However, this is WP where they have the functionality build in where the feeds can be separated by category.

You can do something similar with Blogger using Feedburner. Here is a tutorial. It is four years old but I'm sure it will still work.

Feedburner has an option where you can place a subscribe by email box on your site for the RSS feed. The only issue would be that you would have a separate one for each category so you would have to find a way to make it look nice/neat.
