Notifications by Bloglet
Hey there folks. Just a quick public service announcement. For those of you who have subscribed to The Movie Blog for updates, I've just transferred the system to Bloglet. This will help me out a lot because it automates the Notification process, and it give you links to each individual post with a short excerpt.
For those of you NOT yet subscribed to The Movie Blog, the opposite sex will find you very unattractive and hideous. That is until you DO subscribe by simply entering your email address in the "Subscribe to The Movie Blog" field on the right... then the opposite sex will find you dreamy and s-s-s-sexy. It's as easy as that

John,
There's a line of code you can insert which will return the visitor back to your site after they sub instead of leaving them at the Bloglet site.
Email me and I'll send it to you.
Also, did you get my mail with tips to cut down on comment spam? I notice you no longer allow html in comments. :-)

Huh? Email subscriptions? In the days of RSS?

Good point Hendrik.
The nice thing is that my Bloglet configuration utilizes RSS. Just one less step to get the updates cause it just pops up in your email instead of having to load your newsreader. I like it.

John,
Have I mentioned how impressed I am with the sheer volume of news you provide on this site?

But why would you want webpages notifying you via email when your aggregator can notify you just fine? To each his own, I guess.

I don't use an aggregator (whatever that is) or a newsreader, so email is the best method for me.

The opposite sex will find me hideous? This sounds like propaganda!
Yet, I can't... resist... the urge...
