For any of you who have a blog, is there a way for people to "follow" your blog and have e-mails sent to them when you post an update? I'm going to try to update a travel blog while we're in Europe, and I know my mom and some of my family and friends would like to follow along as we go. I use Google Reader, so I always get my updates there, and know when people update. I feel like if I give people the URL and access to the blog, they might forget to check it, but if I can tell them how to set it up so that they get an e-mail when we update, that would be easier. Is there a way to do this? I'm using blogger.
P.S. I'll also put out a post before we leave for any Nesties that are interested in following (it's private), but I'm still working on setting everything up.
Re: Question for the bloggers
Have you set the blog up yet? If not, do it on wordpress.com - then it's really easy and there's a box you can put on, they enter their email and get updates. I have it on my food blog like that.

Hmm, I already set it up on blogger. But, I guess I could set up a new one on wordpress, since no one knows it exists yet.
there is a gadget that you can add so that people can follow you by email. or you can enter email addresses for that purpose.

Thanks, I found this a little while ago, and added it. I put in my own e-mail address as a test, but haven't gotten an e-mail yet
. Maybe they only send them once a day?
Yeah, I'm not sure how that is set up. I would assume if there was a new blog post after you enter your email address that you should get one. Wait it out a day and see
GL!
