Addendum to keeping track of my blog updates

So I have come to discover that bloglines.com does not work like I thought it did. They do not actually send you alert emails. You still have to log on to bloglines.com and check my blog there. It will alert you if anything on my website has been updated but you have to be logged into their website to find out. So here's a couple of solutions.

1. I am asking around to find out if there is actually a program/website that will ACTUALLY email you an alert to tell you that my blog (or anyone else's) has been updated.

2. Just check my blog site whenever you have time. And you will have to be your own alert system.

3. Download a Notifier. Cool name, eh? It is a little icon that sits on the bottom right hand shortcut bar (system tray) and it will tell you if there has been an update on the website. So log into bloglines.com and look on the left side of the screen. Click on Download Notifier.
