Endless Frustration

I have spent the last few hours trying to figure out how to set up an email subscription service to my blog.  I originally used Feedburner, but after a few days, it seemed obvious to me that it wasn't working.  Then, I made the switch to Feedblitz.  That one is also not working.  What is making things more problematic is that I want to add an email subscription to a private blog that I've started with my girlfriends, and I just don't seem to have any luck.  Using blogger's help page bears little fruit (and seems to be an issue they should clear up), and I've just sent an email to support at Feedblitz, so we'll see what we get back in return.  Until I get this set up, you'll just have to keep coming back to this blog.
