First, set up your email address and make sure that Auto-Send is checked (send via gmail to make it all a bit easier, some ISP's block the type of email calibre sends, but gmail does not).

Then, set up to automatically download the blog entries at a specific time of day (if a site doesn't update until later in the morning, make sure you take that into account). You can also specify only a certain day of the week or every XX days. When you "close" calibre, it keeps running (it is a tiny icon on your system tray on the lower right of your desktop). It will wake itself up, download the entries and email them, all without any intervention. I've been trying it with a couple of entries and it seems to work. The New York Times recipe has disappeared from my system though (and a stuck job for it keeps showing errors, but hey, it's free!). USA Today and the Washington Post seem to come thru fine, as did Soldier's Magazine (a monthly).
