Use Bloglines to Follow a Feedless Site

I've been using this email notifier hack for months now, and it works like a charm.

It's best used, though, with sites that update infrequently (averaging once a day or less) because you can get swamped with notifications otherwise.

I currently use this for the unofficial Borat fan site, because as much as I love the character, I don't want to see the same pics over and over.

Good tip, thanks. But I have been unable to find out how to access that feed through an RSS feed. Surely bloglines provides an RSS feed for e-mail subscriptions.. OR DOESN'T IT?

Marius:

I'm not sure I understand your question. Bloglines can treat email subscriptions as if they were RSS feeds -- why would you need it to actually *be* an RSS feed?

Oh, just so that I can add it to Firefox as a live bookmark. Less mouse clicks that way.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
