One of the usability issues that's been raised (thanks Ruth) is that currently you have to go actively looking to see if anything new has been added, e.g. if someone has left a comment on a blog.

Today explored the system's ability to do this. It turns out we can set up notification emails for changes to content, addition of new items... all sorts of stuff. Details here . Have now done the set-up bit, as far as I can tell just now, so hopefully I'll get a notification when I post this blog.... Once it's working I'll post details of how to set it up.

I've used your email update to come here today. It works well. However, I'd prefer to have an RSS feed which I could add to my other feeds from other blogs I read. This means I could read things offline on the train (or when the connection goes down). If I were using this with kids I would also really appreciate RSS feeds of comments left on sites so that I could moderate as things go up. Is that going to be possible with Exc-el?
