Connect Blogs aren't currently very blog-like. You can't for example just follow someone's blog. This makes peoples blogs really easy to miss.
I think it would be great if there were a facility added to connect whereby you could subscribe to someone's blog.
It would be extra cool if the notification email could be formatted in such a way so that email filters can hive them off separately to all the other notification emails we get for our general topic subscriptions!!
Kind Regards,

May be it's a problem with features visibility on the page?
Hello Ian,
I am happy to report that you are incorrect or that Connect was fixed.
I noticed this idea in the last few days and I have been seeing the little orangee RSS icons across the site many pages. And today Iposted a blog entry (random as usual) and found the same icon.
In addition I found a page were I can follow my own blogs (how existing) and clearly should be able to follow others>
For example here's my blog address: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/ludovicferre
And here's the feed address: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/ludovicferre/feed.
As I love screen shots I've taken one for you to show where the links are on the page, and it may be a problem of visibility rather than feature:
Now I do agree that the email formatting is quite bad. Actually, that just gave me an idea to post!

Yeah -the RSS has been
Yeah -the RSS has been possible for a while, but I was more thinking about being able to follow the blogs as an email update. As for your enhancement request -how about having a plain text and html option for our subscriptions? Then we could have something pretty to look at, rather than than the many lines of plain text....
Will give the RSS thing a try.
Will you be at the next European Vision? I'll try not to eat shell fish and get ill this time.... ;-)
Kind Regards,

Is there a next European Vision? I haven't heard about it. I suspect that if I can run a session or two I could get myself over there.
But I'd rather have ManageFusion back ;). It was small and cosy back then.
