Radio questions out in the open

Without dwelling on this topic, I’m making plans (via a new category) to move my Radio questions and dilemmas out of a ’story’ called (Radio Static?) and onto the home page and into a specific category.
Dane’s post about providing a way for people to ”subscribe” to a site raised this question. Is this how we get Scripting News by email? I have a hunch the answer is ’no.’ Manilla or Frontier or some technology within those tools may be the way that email gets composed and mailed. Not a clue. Along with a search feature, and a set of links for categories, this seems like a pretty important feature.
Another question, what if you wanted to ’charge’ for access to all the categories; for example, a sports information site that has a home page and the categories cover various sports or topics or people, but you only wanted to allow those who had ’subscribed’ at $4.95 per month or $48 per year to get access. What’s the best way to do that and still use Radio as the content manager?

Bloglet: ”Add email subscriptions to your blog. Just put a subscription box on your site to gather readers, and every night they’ll receive an e-mail with your post (or a summary of your posts). Bloglet currently supports Blogger, Radio, Movable Type, Nucleus and Big Blog Tool.” [From the Desktop of Dane Carlson]
