If you want to be notified when a new blog is posted, simply enter your name and email at the left.
This is different than "Registering".  Registering is required to post comments, and has a seperate link at the top right (Registering has an extra step of verifying email addresses).  Its not a perfect system, but its how it has to be for now.

I plan on sending an email when  a new blog post is made.

Your information will not be sold, and unsubscribe links are provided at the bottom of each email.
