Google Reader vs. feedburner.google.com

Gentlemen,

If I can get access to the back end of the blog (beyond just posting privileges), there's a good chance I can add a widget that will provide a feedburner link you'll be able to click on to automatically receive updates to the blog via e-mail. This is the request Tate made in last week's OD meeting. You can see it in action at the top left and just under the header of my own blog (http://thejeffbrown.me).

Personally, I use Google Reader. It aggregates all the blogs I read into a single interface. Rather than manually surfing to the over 100 blogs I read, each time one of them adds a new post, Google Reader brings it to me automatically. Adding a new subscription in Google Reader is as easy as copying and pasting the URL into the "Add a Subscription" field. Here's what the interface looks like (click to enlarge).














If anyone has any questions are anything to add, please feel free to comment.
