Bloggers...Add Email subscription form to blogger

Howdee all,

I have a wish...and it is a selfish wish.

But I think it will also be a benefit to bloggers.

I would like bloggers to use three different ways to subscribe to their blog.

If you check out my blog...in the sidebar to the right I have a few ways to subscribe to my blog.

One is to be a follow my blog via blogger.
Another is to subscribe with a feed...like google, yahoo..etc.
and another is Email Subscription.


I think all three are important.
What I find is that most blogs leave out Email subscriptions.
My mother and other friends and family prefer the email subscription..as it is a reminder that I have made a new post.

Here comes the selfish part..
I don't like using google reader or other readers...They just dont seem to work for me.

As you see I have a blogroll that if you roll it out can go across the USA..ok I exaggerate..but you get the idea..

I have tried to organize my blogs according to type and area...but still I miss posts from my favorite blogs.

So....I think I may have a solution...

I created an email address just for blog updates..
I will subscribe just to blogs with this email address.
When the blogs have a new post, I will be emailed.
Emails are in chronological order..so I can read according to date.
I click on the email..go to the blog and read.
I am using it now for a few blogs that have this capability. and I like the way it is working for me.

So........ i am wishing
Hoping
that some of you will add this to your blog.

I am adding a few links here that will help you do this.

If you would like the emails only to include a teaser of your blog...
Go to feedburner...Optimize tab...then lower left hand side click summary burner..
Your subscriber will be directed to your original blog post.

If any of you do this...let me know..I will subscribe via email!

I am wishing
and hoping............
