E-mail newsletter or blog or feed?

I urge everyone new to blogging to start with the analogue blog (analog blogue?) and map out what you want to do, who’s the audience, how much work do you want to exert, etc.

Scot’s Newsletter makes a good point.

3. Don’t unsubscribe because you’re going to use the RSS feed instead. The SFNL RSS feed is meant as a convenience service for subscribers only, not as a replacement for your subscription. Please, there’s no future for a newsletter in RSS distribution. If I were to focus on that, I would just transform the newsletter into a blog and send you a newsletter notification. I’ve polled the newsletter’s readership on that very point — and you’ve said loud and clear you don’t want me to do that. At the very least, keep your subscription and use it as a notification to check your RSS reader.
