Getting an e-mail subscription to Japan HEO

People have asked about getting updates mailed to their chosen e-mail address--either as a supplement or in place of the Web 2.0 'feeds' (RSS, Atom), which push updated content into your 'reader' program (e.g., Yahoo Reader, Google Reader, or something your e-mail program or web browser gives you) or onto personalized web pages (e.g., Igoogle and MyYahoo). The persistent usefulness of e-mail can not be denied. 

As far as I can tell, Blogger doesn't have an e-mail subscription service native to it. I had been using a free service, but I didn't like the fact that I couldn't control the ads in it, so I dropped it.

One fix is possible, IF you have a google account.

If you have a google account (and do things like gmail, googledocs, Buzz, etc.), you can set up a search as a feed that is then pushed to your e-mail address. Here is how:

1. Go to:

2. Create a Google Alert.

3. Enter the topic you wish to monitor:

Search terms: site:japanheo.blogspot.com/
Type: Blogs  
How often: choose  
Email length: choose  
Deliver to: your address



You then will get delivered to your an e-mail that looks like this:
