For those who hunger.
An RSS feed allows you to receive articles in a fashion similar to emails. Many email clients have the ability to receive RSS feeds. For example, see instructions for configuring Thunderbird here.
The benefits of this RSS feed are three-fold: (1) You know promptly when the site has a new post; (2) You have one-click access to links both new and old; (3) You bypass the front page, which will load slowly when the site is under heavy use.
In addition, clicking on the XML icon above will load only the articles, thus giving you very speedy access to the latest content. (This loading works for firefox and opera; it may not work on other browsers.)
