Circle of Life

This week has been hectic- My neighbor died, an elderly lady; one of my good friends got married, awesome party; my cousin sister gave birth to a baby girl, sweet little thing. All in one week. This does put life into perspective.

I suppose it happens everyday, every minute, every second, somewhere to someone.

When you look at the world from a distance, all seems fine. It's just another lonely planet. The closer you get, you start to see the chaos- the joy, the sorrow, the life and the death, the wars, and the peace, the truth and the lies, the sick and the healthy, the generous and the selfish, the brave and fearful, all trying to make or take something of value out of this circle of life.

How to provide 'Email Subscription' Feature to your Blog

There are those who prefer to email subscriptions vs Feeds via a Feed reader. To satisfy this type of audience you must include on your blog/Web page:

a) Email subscription Form

Enter your email address:

Delivered by FeedBurner

* Add email address and click 'Subscribe' to demonstrate how the form works.

b) or Email Subscription Link


* Click on above link to demonstrate how the link works.

You can do this by burning your blog or feed address via FeedBurner and then publicizing the newly generated feed for email subscriptions.

Here's a step by step guide to do just that, courtesy of BloggerTricks.com

IMPORTANT: Step 6 in this guide is now made easy by FeedBurner by providing one click facility to include either a single link subscription or a subscription form widget on your blog/Web page, without having to copy paste any code to a manually added HTML/JavaScript Google Gadget.
