Sorry, but there is nothing I find more annoying than the "Never miss a post!" spam that Tumblr now inserts in to every page post acquisition.
Perhaps someone could do one thing well and come up with a blogging platform for this nice project?

Annoying the fuck out of people is a good way to chase them away.
Blogs work as much via reblogging and word-of-mouth as anything else.
The most egregious example I can think of is the Google Blogger dynamic designs, which I find both completely frustrate any attempt to read the content presented, and which I've yet to find a way to un-do the damage via local CSS.
In most cases, even Readability curls up in a corner and weeps quietly rather than present its exceptionally clean and quite preferable page design.
I've appealed directly to several blog owners to chose a different site design (e.g., not the "dynamic* layouts). Generally, I close the page as soon as I open it.
