Bloglet - email blog updates
I just added a way to subscribe to this blog via email using Bloglet's Service.
A couple of my blogging clients use this so I know it works well.
I've also had a change of heart - or perhaps I should say I changed my mind. OK, I'll admit - I was downright wrong!
Theoretically, you are "supposed" to subscribe to blogs using RSS and then use a feedreader, for example bloglines.com, to see new information posted. Services like Bloglet shouldn't be necessary.
Sure, I do use RSS and a feedreader. But what percentage of blog readers do? I haven't seen any stats, but I'll guess it's 5-10% at most. For example, I know some of my regular readers only read my blog and I'm sure they don't use, need, or understand RSS and feed readers.
So, if you want to get email updates, go for it. Just input your email on the box at top - it's basically self explanatory. You'll get any new words of wisdom from me emailed to you.
And if you still want to visit and click the occasional Google Ad, feel free!

post a commentI know how to use RSS but I don't like them. I like to actually visit the page and see the site not just the text. That is why a lot of people don't use RSS. Others use RSS because they read a ton of sites all day long and it eliminates the need to go to each one but I still like the old fashioned way of paying everyone a proper visit.
I think the more ways you get info to your readers, the better. Congrats on continued success. Great site.
