RSS feed puts blog posts into google reader. I'm not sure what "join" does. Follow by email sends blog posts to the reader's email.marysewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04482564881192516660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2661816713425562304.post-18119967266649220312012-03-01T16:14:25.353+11:002012-03-01T16:14:25.353+11:00I don't really know what you mean by joining o...I don't really know what you mean by joining or emailing.

I found a really cool blog yesterday, and it only had a join button, where I would prefer an RSS feed. i guess that means I need to check for three ways to get my blog: email, reader, and join.marysewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04482564881192516660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2661816713425562304.post-6335875465159474902012-03-01T11:34:12.490+11:002012-03-01T11:34:12.490+11:00Hear hear to that!

I much prefer pottering through my blogreader scroll and having a sneaky peek, than getting emails. <br />I suspect that many bloggers don't realise how their settings impact readers. On a similar note, I detest the new word recognition security thing on some blogs (incuding this one :() where there are two, often quite long words, all twisted up. I often cannot read the words and it makes commenting frustrating when you have to try a few times. I took it off my blog as I can always delete unwanted responses, and I'd love it if more bloggers did. I feel it is a level of security too far...MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.com
