I'm getting new entries for one blog e-mailed to me. I usually click on
the link to take me to the blog site because it's prettier than the
e-mail, and if anyone's left a comment, that's how I'll see it, but if I
didn't care about the aesthetics or comments, I could just read the
e-mails and leave it at that.
(The folks running that particular blog did *not* want an LJ syndication
set up for it, and once I looked at the website and found out I could get
new entries e-mailed to me, I signed up for that, so I'm still in my "only
one site to check for everything not in e-mail" state.)
