    If your list is small, email each sub personally. If it's large do it until you can't anymore. You'll be amazed by the impact #blogchat

    People who comment on your blog are usually other bloggers. People who subscribe to your list are your real readers #blogchat

    If you've been blogging for a long time, one of the great places to find content for your newsletter is your own archives.. #blogchat

    That's one good argument for WP's comment system: You get their emails. You can build list. #blogchat

    pulling email addy's from comments is not a great way to build a list - it could be illegal unless you get their permission #Blogchat
