So the Comments should work for everyone who wants to comment on a post - I tested it out, it works, huzzah. But it looks like a regular ol' normal person off the street can't just subscribe to the blog (should I refer to it as "LOSTBlog"? Is that pretentious, like talking about yourself in the third person?) as I thought they'd be able to. Nope, unless I'm missing something (which is easily possible), you have to have an account with Google, or Yahoo, or Bloglines, or whatever Atom is. I don't know, maybe it's simple, or maybe you've done this before, and if you already know what you're doing, subscribe your arse off. Just wanted to say that for those new to the magic of blogs who were looking forward to getting an email when the blog was updated, it's not as easy on your end as I thought. Sorry about that!
I guess the easiest thing to do would be to just check the blog when you get a moment, no?

Hey Matt, great idea!
Not sure about how to be able to subscribe via email, maybe there's a plugin you can use for blogspot to make this work.
I do know that you can subscribe using an RSS Reader, which is basically a program that checks blogs for new posts and updates you with the new items.
For a pc, I would recommend RSS Bandit (free!) available here:

I've been using it for years and love it.
Not sure what to do about our MAC friends, but I bet there's something built into those fancy machines already...
Besides RSS Bandit there are other free RSS\Atom aggregators, and I think Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla Firefox and Outlook all have ways of subscribing to feeds as well.
