If you use an RSS reader, I've got lots, I use Microsoft Outlook at work and subscribe to a number of tech blogs through that via RSS; I use feedburner to track a number of music blogs via RSS; and then I've subscribed to the BBC, This American Life and number of other podcasts on my Blackberry Torch phone, and I get the shop blog updates there as well. You can use this RSS feed to follow along http://jackandadams.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
So it never occurred to me that people would like to receive the blog updates as email. Hey, the internets do everything, so I went and looked and yes, if you post the RSS feed URL in at http://blogtrottr.com/ and give it your email address, they'll show up. Neat!
How do you follow the blog? Do you use the tags we add to entries? Got any tips to share? ++Mark.

Oh yeah, and if you want to get an RSS feed, or via Blogtrottr an email on just a subset of the posts, so for example the shop rides just use
http://jackandadams.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/shop ride
Thanks for this great information, Mark.
To clarify in our case, we wished to follow the "shop ride" tag. Since the internet abhors a blank space that link should be as follows:
http://jackandadams.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/shop%20ride
It won't work without the "%20" inserted where you have a space in "shop ride."
When creating tags on websites in the future a "-" or no space at all should be used between words. Or you'll have to remember to add the "%20" that many programs insert by default to any links you share.
Thanks for helping a busy volunteer ride organizer out!
