Newsletter feature
There is no newsletter feature. Superblog is built with businesses in mind. The probability of a reader filling the lead-gen/inquiry form is much much higher than a newsletter subscription form.

Once your readers fill the form, you get an email alert and you can manage them from your superblog dashboard. You can download that list to integrate with any other mailing solution or Connect Superblog to Zapier to setup automation.
