Easily Enable Subscriptions on your Wordpress Blog

A few months ago WordPress released the Jetpack plugin which has many awesome features.

One of it's nicest features is the ability to place a widget to asking visitors to supply their email address to get future posts via email.

The coolest thing about this is WordPress handles ALL of the email sending and such you don't even have to bother worrying about black lists, bounces, etc.
