The closest I could find to my question was in this question:
However bumping that old pinned post did not seem to be right path to take
I currently use IFTTT to get the blog posts sent to me, and that does seem to work fine, but it struck me as a bit curious that I could not directly subscribe
Given some of the hoo-hah around people being notified about crowdfunding I wonder if fewer people are seeing all the blog posts I am than might otherwise
Ah ok. To my mind directly subscribing to a blog means using an rss feed reader.
But for email notification of every post I suspect your current solution (IFTTT) or another 3rd party rss to email service are the only current options.
