If you click on the "Follow This Blog" link, this will add Tom's blog to your Blogger Dashboard and Google Reader account (if you have one). You will also have the option to add your image and profile to your blog to let others know that you are a fan of this particular blog. This is one way for mutual friends and family to get to know one another.
You also have the option to "Subscribe" to this (or any other Google blog feeds), and be notified whenever a new blog post is published.
An additional option would be to create an igoogle home page, as I've done, and link this blog and some other news sites that I like to my home page, plus a Dilbert cartoon. Every time one of the pages that I have subscribed to is updated, my igoogle home page is updated.
In short, I've become an even bigger Google fan than I was before!
Hope this info was helpful,
Thomas' Mom
