Clarification on Follower Feature

I apologize for the misconception that by signing up for the blog as a follower, you will receive email notifications when I post new blogs.  When you sign up for a follower, this is a lot like becoming a fan of something on Facebook.  You may get noticications, but only on your dashboard. 

As a result of this, I will do my best to send out an email when major posts are being made such as newsletters.  However, it is a good idea to check the blog on your own periodically, perhaps weekly.  My suggestion would be to make the blog one of your "favorites" so that it is easy to access.
