I realized that there are a few folks that read this blog without the benefit of an RSS aggregator. To each their own, I figure. So, I just installed a handy plugin to let people subscribe to the output of this blog via email.
If that kind of thing turns your crank, head on over to the Subscribe page, where you’ll be provided with links to the RSS and Atom feeds, as well as a handy dandy email subscription form.
I’ve got no idea what this might do to my blog host, so I’ll run the service as an experiment for awhile. Hopefully it won’t smoke any servers. Enjoy!
Update: Hey! It works! Actually, the email that gets sent out contains the full HTML of the post, so it’s a pretty decent way to subscribe.

That’s cool. But, considering your desk is like 5 feet from mine, you really just have to turn your head to the right a bit, and you’ll see the blog as it’s published. It’s on my screens enough 🙂
I’m one of those people that don’t read weblogs with the “benefit” of an RSS aggregator because I feel lost and bored in them. Everything looks the same to me in an RSS aggregator and it feels like I’m losing touch with unique “flavour” of each weblog. Sure, there’s the “read more” links or whatever to read each article in its natural environment. But without the red boingboing logo, the picturesque banners at the top of this weblog, or the blueish-green and white colors of slashdot, it just becomes a big boring dump of information that feels like a chore to read through.
So, thanks for the email subscription offer, but I’d rather enjoy the experience of reading each weblog for more than its raw content!
