Some clarification

We ran into some more bugs this afternoon, but I think there all gone. We all hope so. 8o)

I did want to clarify how notifications work and what type of notification features there are for our blogs.

First, there are blog notifications. These can be subscribed to or unsubscribed from on the front page of most of the blogs. If you'd like to have this feature on your blog, follow the instructions on the "Subscribe/Unsubscribe" entry. If you subscribe to this type of notification, you will only receive an e-mail when the blog's author sends one. That may be each time they blog, but it's generally less frequent and always up to the author.

The second kind of notifications are for comments. Those are per-entry subscriptions and can be made when you post a comment. You can also subscribe without commenting using the "Subscribe without commenting" form below the main comments form (too many forms 8o) ). If you subscribe to this type of notification, you will receive an e-mail every time someone comments on an entry you're subscribed too. This type of subscription helps the blog entries take on some of the features that a forum would normal handle.

I hope all that makes sense. 8o) If you have any questions, feel free to comment here.
