Got some great feedback at SXSW about the weekly Birdhouse email updates… ironically just after I broke them by switching to WordPress. Took a look around at available plugins to replicate the functionality in WP, but came up short, so last night modified my mtblogmail script to work with WordPress (as wpblogmail, of course). E-mail updates should resume this Sunday night, and the Subscribe box has been restored to the sidebar.

Absolutely willing to share – will try to package up something basic tonight, with the caveat that it may need some non-conf code tweaking to work – but I’ll give you a hand with that if needed.
