FYI: Blog Post Alerts

Coco made a good point in a comment- there is a way for readers to get email notifications of when I post on this blog if you're interested. Here is what I found under frequently asked questions:

How do I notify people of updates to my blog?
We’ve got a few suggestions:
Use the BlogSend feature to email folks when you update your blog.
Get your friends hooked on feeds and give them the feed of your blog.
Feedburner also has a Subscribe via Email widget you can add to your blog after burning your feed.
Blogarithm is a service that will let your friends and family subscribe to your blog and be notified by email when you have new content.
Blog Alert will send your family and friends daily email notifications when there are new posts to your blog. They don't need an account. They just need to enter your feed URL and their email address.

Hope this is helpful!

I signed up through the last link, Blog Alert. They want you to put in the RSS feed, not the URL. It took me a while to figure that one out. To save you time, here it is:
