Hi takashi,
The new site is getting better and better by every day. You and Taskinen are doing a great job: fresh news, results, articles. Fortunately there is a lot to write about, as Kiira’s season is quite busy this year.
One question: Is it possible to set an e-mail notification about new posts and comments?
Goo Kiira!

Kovachik: Hi and thanks! The best solution would be to follow the two RSS-feeds:
http://www.kiira-korpi.com/feed/
http://www.kiira-korpi.com/comments/feed/
Note that the domain in the URL will change in the future.
Since we integrated our feeds to FeedBurner service, now it’s possible to get also e-mail notices. Check the buttons at the top of the page.
It sounds really good!
I’ve just confirmed my subscription to the e-mail notifications.
Thanks again for Your great work!
