I’ve recently completed the process of moving all subscribers to my new blog. I expect its new web-based email subscription system will work better.

• All emails from me will say they are from MichaelPrewitt.com, not from FeedBlitz.
• Replies to emails will be delivered to me, and not to some stranger!
• It is no longer necessary to go through another third party to add comments to a blog post. There is also support for personal avatars; initially Gravatars are enabled (when you comment with the email address associated with a Gravatar), and later I plan to add user profiles for those who want them.

Previously I was using the third-party service called FeedBlitz. They monitored my blog, and whenever there was a new post they sent emails to to everyone who had subscribed. It worked reasonably well, except that some people were confused about the relationship between me and FeedBlitz, and some thought that FeedBlitz was the name of my blog! Now that there are no third parties, I hope things will run more smoothly.
