I noticed an email widget on Seth Godin's blog from FeedBlitz. It's free for personal use and turned out to be fairly easy to add.
Here's how:
- go to feedblitz.com
- click on Try FeedBlitz Now! and sign up
- click on Forms and Widgets
- click on Email Subscription Widgets > New Blogger Widget
- enter your email address and the verification, then click on "Install Your Email Subscription Widget On Blogger"
- you may have to log in to Blogger if you're not already, then you should get to:

- choose Add Widget and you should get to your layout

- look for a widget labeled "Email Subscriptions powered..." and drag it to where you want it
- to customize the appearance, choose Edit

- I removed the Title and changed the code slightly. (Note: after removing the title it will show up in the layout as just "HTML/Javascript") Since you're getting the service for free, I figure it's only fair to leave the "Powered by FeedBlitz". Be careful not to change anything else.
- If it looks ok in Preview you can choose Save and you're finished. If you mess something up, just don't click Save.

It looks like this is now a 30-day trial service, unless you pay money. I should have done it right away when you posted. Sigh!
