E-mail Subscription Box

So I had a few friends ask me how to receive an e-mail when I posted a new blog... I figured out how to add that feature to my old blog and I think it worked great. But honestly, it wasn't as easy with this new one. I found one "gadget" that allowed me to add a similar feature but I thought it looked kind of tacky. I couldn't find a good alternative so I left the "tacky" feature on the bottom of the blog. Hope it works!
