How to stay updated??

The follow option will report blogposts only to your blogger dashboard.
To get notifications in your email box, choose the "follow by email" option instead and provide your email id in the box.. This is a one time activity and you can simply get notifications of every post delivered in your mailbox..
In addition, subscribe to http://labs.google.co.in/smschannels/subscribe/tnpKgceUpdate  for free blog updates by sms.  The sms may not reach in real time and may have a lag of 0 to 24hrs.. So shudnt be treated as a primary source of info..
