a burning question

last thursday, someone asked if blog followers are email notified when someone publishes a new post to http://ecreferral.blogspot.com/

the short answer is no.
i cannot find anything in blogger.com that says "notify me when there is a new post to this blog"
i cannot find anything in blogger.com that says "notify followers when there is a new post to this blog"

there is a feature in the blog manager window that says "notify up to 10 email addresses when there is a new post to this blog", but since there are more than 10 of us.....

i suppose this is not twitter

but wait!
if i set up a twitter account for ecreferral
i can notify twitter about new posts automatically
then
if you set up a twitter account
if your twitter follows the ecreferral twitter
if you actually read your twitter messages [i dont]
then you will be notified whenever there is a new post

is it worth it?
probably not.

Although this is a solution I don't think it will satisfy our needs - set up one account to read email from a second account that is set up through a third account. Too much to overhead!
