What are subscribers?

    I have a WordPress blog and when I look under “Users” I see that I have 41 users — 3 administrators and 38 subscribers. But I’m not really sure what that actually means. Plus, although I thought I did everything correct over on feedburner, I show 0 subscribers there. Aren’t these the same thing? I just don’t understand about feedburners, subscribers, etc.

    Can anyone explain it or point me to a very easy explanation of all this?

    Thanks so much for your help!

    The Administrator Role is allowed to perform all possible Capabilities. Each of the other Roles has a decreasing number of allowed Capabilities. For instance, the Subscriber Role has just the read Capability. read more here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities . Feedburner subscibers are subscribers to your rss feed and wordpress subscribers are roles, designed to give the blog owner the ability to control and assign what users can and cannot do in the blog.

    keesiemeijer …

    Thanks for the info, but I’m still a little confused. How do people “subscribe” to my blog? I do not have any kind of registration set up, yet all these people are showing up as “subscribers” in my WP users list. If they’re not subscribing to my RSS feed, what are they subscribing to?

    Sorry for being so dense, but I still don’t get it.
