Re: Blogger and Garden Blogs

**G* R* <g*@tiscali.co.uk>**

I use the lower of the two grades of paid-for deals with Typepad - 
$89.95 a year, I think, for the extra flexibility in design it 
offers. They will host three blogs for that rate. The only thing I 
wish they did was notify people who comment when a new comment is 
added to the string. They notify me, but not others.

BTW In reference to your earlier comments about subscribing... Do you 
think my one "Subscribe to this blog's feed" at the top right is 
sufficient (+ the email subscription box lower down) or do you think 
that all the individual readers should have their icons/links in the 
sidebar? Sorry... that's more of a personal question.. but your 
answer might help everyone.
