Last month, my BBC (that's Blog-Building Colleague) Brenda McCarthy posted a tutorial on how to subscribe to this humble space via RSS or e-mail. Since then, the subscriber list has climbed to the lofty level of high double-digits (whoa, I'm getting a nose bleed here!).

For anyone who missed the first go-round but wants a time-efficient way to keep up with HybridTalk rants, I reprint Brenda's post below. And for you cynics out there, of course I'm doing so to make things as easy as possible for readers, but I am not paid by the eyeball. Instead, my can-you-believe-an-NYSE-listed-company-pays-someone-to-write-this-nonsense compensation is based on a complex formula involving HybridTalk content, including but not limited to:

· Number of classic-rock references (10 points);
· Questions answered, questions dodged (10 and 20 points, respectively);
· Trivia about the number of stocks participating in pilots (50 points);
· Innings pitched (25 points);
· Trading examples, impenetrable trading examples (5 and 10 points, respectively);
· Mentions of senior-management speeches, quotes (20 points);
· Overly fawning mentions of senior-management speeches, quotes (25 points);
· References to failed musical career (5 points);
· References to failed career, period (10 points);
· Hours of meetings with lawyers reviewing the above (-250 points).

That disclosure notwithstanding, here's Brenda's post. Any way you read HybridTalk -- subscribing or just dropping in -- is fine with me. As long as you keep reading. In keeping with the Hybrid spirit, we're all about customer choice. Don't forget, put my yet-to-be-college-educated kids right out of your mind, not a factor.

Hi - Ray's colleague Brenda here, stepping in with news about HybridTalk's new daily e-mail feature.

What it is:
An end-of-day recap of the day's posts. If there are no posts, you will not get an e-mail that day.

What you'll get:
A little more room in your short-term memory (no need to remember to check the blog on your own).

How to sign up:
1 - Click on the Subscribe button at the top of any HybridTalk page
2 - Enter your e-mail address in the "Email" section
3 - Check your inbox for a verification message from FeedBurner, the service that delivers e-mail subscriptions for HybridTalk. The message will come from this address: “donotreply@emailenfuego.com”. You will need to click the link listed in that message to activate your subscription.

If you prefer to get updates as they are posted:
...then our RSS feed option is better for you, though you will need an RSS Reader to receive the feed. If you have questions about RSS, check out the Subscribe page for links to more information.

If you are one of the lucky few who already get e-mail updates from HybridTalk (because you finagled Ray into getting you on our secret, manually maintained list):
...let us know if you would rather get end-of-day recaps instead and we'll take you off the list so you can sign up for the recaps. You are welcome to stay on the list, of course, and continue receiving posts as you do now.

That's it. Passing back the mic.
