I'm not liking wordpress so much anymore. It is a pain to figure out how to add features, such as what you just asked, Lefty. I mean, if I wanted to notify others of new blog posts, I'm sure there is that feature, but I'd have to learn how to add it, not just on Wordpress, but also via my "parent" site. Yikes! I did not set up Wordpress myself. Boeschel Creative did it for me, as she did my main site too. While I love having a blog, I'm not so good at implementing new features. You have to understand the language, and sometimes the applications (features to add) come with tutorials, and that tells you something: if you need a tutorial to add, then it can't be easy. On the other hand, Wordpress offers so many more options and features than other standard blogs, if you know how to use them. Another thing is figuring out how to drive traffic to your site and blog.
