I see my Googlemail address, "Dashboard" and "Sign out". This is because I manage several blogs and am currently signed in to "Blogger". These options are not part of the blog itself but part of the "Blogger" bar across the top, which is the only downside of using the excellent free services of "Blogger".

If you think it means that you have to pay money or fill in a form with all your details in order to read the content then you are showing your ignorance of these things. If you follow the link to "Subscribe" to a blog then it takes you to a page where you can subscribe to the rss news feed, which enables you to receive updates through a newsfeed reader, your iGoogle page, My Yahoo or many other interfaces that display feeds. Updates via rss feeds are available for many other sites like BBC News, newspapers, sport sites and even Pennine Waterways. But, of course, you wouldn't look at Pennine Waterways as it doesn't identify the author or display a site policy, whatever that is. >That's what I look for.
