Hi,

The basic installation of Atahualpa comes with two links in the upper right corner of the screen, one reads "Posts" and the other one "Comments".
Hovering over these links read "subscribe to the post feed / comments feed". When clicked, the user is directed to a page containing the first line of the post / comment.

I would like to allow readers to receive a notification E-mail once a new article has been posted to the blog.

How is the user supposed to subscribe ?
Where can they enter their E-mail address?

It's a combination of using Feedburner and settings in ATO>RSS Settings

What are the advantages for not using feedburner?
What other options do I have?

I wasn't saying not to use Feedburner. I was saying to use Feedburner so people can subscribe via email to your posts.

Sorry I was unclear;
I'm trying to keep things simplified and at the same time, not delegate every single task to some provider.

What I meant to ask is this;
What are the advantages of not using feedburner and what other good options do I have in working within the wordpress/plugin environment ?
