Blog Alert gets some notice!

I noticed a little traffic starting to build on my Blog Alert page, so I checked the web stats, and I found out that Blog Alert was listed on a tech site called eHub that lists "next generation" web products. Pretty cool!

In case there starts to be too much traffic on the Blog Alert site, I thought I would mirror some of the content over to here. (Google, who owns Blogger, can probably handle the traffic.)

For those of you wanting to add Blog Alert functionality to your own blog or site (allowing people to sign up for email notifications of your blog posts), you can use the following HTML. Just replace http://YOUR-FEED-URL-HERE with the URL of your RSS Feed, and paste the HTML into your blog template:

<!-- START BLOG ALERT BOX -->
<div style="padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 16px;">
<table style="border: 1px solid rgb(13, 41, 183); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" width="160">
<tbody><tr>
<td>
<h3 style="border-bottom: 1px solid navy; margin: 0px; color: navy; display: block; height: 20px;">Subscribe</h3>
<div style="font-size: 9pt; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">

When you add it to your blog, it should look something like this:
