Sam,

I had trouble finding it too! It turns out I hadn't ever posted it to this blog; instead I posted it to Business Blog Consulting (http://www.businessblogconsulting.com ) and Internet Marketing 101 (http://business.mainetoday.com/smallbusiness/internetmarketing/) only.

I've since remedied the situation by posting it here: http://www.flyteblog.com/flyte/2007/01/how_to_subscrib.html

I've wanted a search box for flyte's blog, but I've never found one that wasn't overly branded for TypePad. If you know of one, let me know. I don't like Google's or Rollyo's.

Yes, please go ahead and link to either one of the posts above or directly to the movie: http://www.flyte2.biz/media/blog-subscribe.html

I hear the same thing at least once-per-week from clients, colleagues, etc. They're all happy to hear that they can send PayPal $$ w/out establishing an account, and they tend to open accounts after using the service because of its simplicity. Yet it mystifies me that PayPal (read eBay) hasn't effectively gotten the word out about this. (Actually, maybe it doesn't mystify me anymore)

Small-scale e-commerce sites that deploy PayPal would also have a much easier time closing sales. I recall a study and subsequent discussion a couple years ago regarding the fact that PayPal had more abandoned Shopping Carts than any other merchant provider.

Rich - looks like flyte is really soaring high lately. Keep up the great work!

So true about PayPal and the necessity of taking the time to explain it to people.

And on another topic - I found a link to your 'how to Subscribe to a blog' movie, watched it, liked it, was about to ask you if I could link to it when I closed the tab. Now I can't find it. I have flu and my brain's addled - it's my excuse.

So this led me to something else, I can't find a search box on your blog. Even worse, I can't find one on mine! It must have disappeared in my recent sidebar redesign. Mine's coming back, asap. Do you have one? Did I just miss it?

Back to the main reason for the comment - if it's ok to link to the movie could you please send me the link.

Thanks
