Google now offers new features for blogs which I have used immediately.
You can now do a google search for the blog with 'search this blog'. This is very useful, taking the fact into account that by now we have a couple thousand posts already. I myself find it difficult to find the right post. With this feature it is easy. Just insert any word and click.
The other feature is the 'subscribe now'. Many folks go to this site every day, some several times just to see whether something is new. If you subscribe you will know that something is new whenever it appears.
