Guru Maharaja has a blog on the new website. I signed up to get announcements whenever a new blog comes out but I haven't received any. Has anyone else had this problem?
I get them on my RSS feed, if that's any help.
Good question. I know and understand the concept of a feed, but for months its science has escaped me. Every time I click on the RSS button to get the feed, I am presented with options that I don't even know what they are. In this case, I just wanted to get a feed whenever Swami has a new blog entry. I click... and get lost.
So far I've had success only with my friends' myspace pages, because you subscribe to a blog just by clicking on a link that takes care of everything.
I've adde the RSS feed to my Google home page. No problems.
I am glad for you.
What should I do, though, to get an email every time someone updates their blogs? Or I haven't even understood how a feed works? Do I have a google homepage thing that I am not aware of?
HOW DOES IT WORK?

If you have a Google account or a Gmail address, you can add content to your personal Google homepage, unoriginally entitled iGoogle. I kid you not. Point your browser to http://www.google.com/ig and log into your Google account (same as Gmail) to customize the page. There are a bunch of websites/applications that can keep track of your feeds. Just Google "aggregators" or "RSS aggregators."
I had a similar problem get the email update feature to work on my GM's website. Couldn't really figure it out when I used Movable Type and couldn't figure it out when I used WordPress.
Vrindaranya, where did you sign up to receive email updates? I don't recall installing that on GM's blog... I could though.
For those of you who don't know what RSS is, watch this short video: http://www.commoncraft.com/rss_plain_english
I personally use Google Reader to keep up with a number of websites. (To answer a question you had a while ago Syamasundara, that's how I come across news)
the store has an RSS feed too btw.
I can't find it now, but I swear I signed up for it at one point! Are you sure you didn't remove this feature?
I haven't changed anything about the layout/tools since I first finished it. But would you like the feature? Downside would be a box on the left.
Or perhaps someone could just mention it here on TV whenever there is a new entry in Swami's blog? That might be the easiest way to do this.
RSS is much easier. No human intervention, all automation.

First time I read this I thought Brigu wanted notices to be on Finnish televsion.
I should have expected that, but it still makes me laugh. So many abbreviations, Americans are the best at this, too.
