"Pagecord has two big attractions. One is rediscovering blogging by email, but a bigger win is the source availability. It does what I need, very nicely."

"It's simple, it's niche, it's elegant. The most important thing is the words and it takes away all the excuses that distract us from the real purpose of a blog, which is to learn about ourselves."
