While working in a client's Blogger blog I noticed this new gadget!  It allows people to follow your blog (subscribe) via Email!  Very cool.

Basically it is what I have always put on my clients blog…the Feedburner Email Subscriptions. Blogger now has a quick and easy way to do it!

Yes, this gadget is through Feedburner as Blogger and Feedburner are both free Google applications 😀

If you don't already have this type of gadget on your Blogger blog:

• Go to your Dashboard.
• Click Design.
• Page Elements.
• Click Add a Gadget.
• and choose Follow By Email.

  

• Your blog name will appear where I have highlighed "your blog name".
• Your email associated with your Blogger account will appear where I have highlighted "your email here".
• You do NOT have to do a thing or change anything (I'm simply highlighting areas).
• Click Save.
• Drag and drop where you want in your blog's layout.
• Save Changes.
• You're done!

Now readers can follow your blog and receive updates via email!
