So - I was thinking!
I am going to use the Blog for all updates. If you want to be notified of new posts, you need to join (top left is a little blue icon to 'Log in' or 'Join' - then 'Account Settings' 'Notifications' and you can subscribe to the blog. This way I don't have to do both and it's waaay easier this way.
Loveya!
