When I started using WordPress, which was not long, just four months ago, every time I started following a new blog I’d automatically start getting emails when that blog would post something. I could go on WordPress and change that if I wanted, but that was the standard thing: follow a blog = get emails.

I’ve been following a few new blogs and noticed they were not updating. Today one of them did post something and the author asked me if I saw the new post. No, I hadn’t seen it. That was odd, since I always got emails from all the blogs I followed.

Not anymore.

Now, when you start following a blog you do not get emails when they post. You have to go to your Reader, click on Blogs I follow, and then select if you wish to receive emails and if you want them immediately, daily, or weekly. It’s annoying, and I wish I knew WordPress had changed that.

Anyway, if you’re not getting emails from the new blogs you started following go check your reader.

Now, does anyone know how to set my account so I won’t have to go there to change the setting every time I follow a blog?
