MailBard Newsletters

Description

MailBard is a fork of the plugin MailPoet 2. The MailPoet team has decided to stop supporting MailPoet 2… so here comes MailBard, to pick up right where MailPoet 2 left off! We are striving for 100% backwards-compatibility with MailPoet 2.

With MailBard, you can create newsletters, post notifications and autoresponders. Drop your posts, images, social icons in your newsletter. Change fonts and colors on the fly. Manage all your subscribers. A new and simple newsletter solution for WordPress. Finally!

We built it with the idea that newsletters in WordPress should be easy. Not hard. Forget MailChimp, Aweber, etc. We’re the good guys inside your WordPress.

MailBard is currently a work in progress! Thank you for your patience.

More details will be added soon. To contribute or ask questions, please visit us at http://www.mailbard.com/.

Works great- but Broken with latest version of PHP.. Support site does not work, and emailing them receives no replies. I wish they would keep the updates going and fix the support site
