a practice question for you

[Michael Herman]

i've had a quick look, harrison, and there's no switch to throw easily and
turn on email broadcast of blog posts.  but i know it's possible.  am
running off for an airplane and a few days of work.  will have a think about
how to set up such an alert, when i get back.  unless ted figures it out in
my absence.  (feedburner, ted?  or another feed service?)  thanks, michael
