    I'm setting up a new blog on blogger where i'll be teaching web and programming courses like html,css,javascript,php,java,xml,seo/blogging etc.
    I intend having a "subscribe via email" box.But i'm thinking, not everyone would want to be bugged by my mails on all these courses.For instance one might want to get updates on seo/blogging and not java/php.How do i take care of this?
    I'v thought of creating subdomains for the various courses and have different feeds for them.but at the same time it looks clumsy to me(so many feeds in a site).
    Or does any one have any better idea of how i could do this better.

    i think subdomains are better to cater all those courses and if you put all those feeds properly , it wouldn't look clumsy

    If you are willing to switch to wordpress for your website then you don't need to think too much. You can simply create categories for each of the course and have separate feeds at <site.com>/archives/category/<category>/feed.

    This is a built in feature in Wordpress so you wouldn't have to do any coding to get separate feeds.

    Why don't you use autoresponder to get your subscribers? There are lots of free or paid service. I suggest use different campaign for each topic of the autoresponder. So you build your asset & happy blogging.

    Having more than 1 feed on a blog is not bad but good. I think you might not need different sub domains to have different feeds. There should be some options in blogger also to get category wise feeds.

    Just make sure when you have feeds for categories separately, you should also have a feed for the whole site as well.

    you can use categories feed. The feed URL for the category will be like this :

    hxxp://www.yourBlogName.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/YourCategory

    You can do whatever you want. Either burn this feed in feedburner or give away the raw feed to your subscribers. No need to create subdomains.
