All Comments Are Welcome

Well, I finally figured out how to open up the conversations to all - bloggers, non-bloggers and anonymous, so feel free...Now, if I could only figure out how to add a "simple" emailing list, so folks (who are so inclined) can find out when new stuff is added here - I'd be thrilled. Is there anybody out there...who knows about this and can explain it in English (not just Bloggese)? I have this love-hate thing with technology, you see. All comments are welcome.
