Ladies and Gentleman - I figured it out !! whoo hooo
OK - as the all knowledgeable Walt suggested - i did a disqus comment form on each page of blog that i have. this also give visitors the option of subscribing by mail or rss to the comments.
great!!
then to subscribe to the blog -
the addthis button on my front page -so that when ever i update the clip on the home page it would let people know.
I also added a share this link on the bottom of the “blog post” and each time I do another I will add that to it.
these 2 things will also help in driving traffic to my site (at least I pray It does LOL)
so basically I have a blog on my site! yeah!!
I also added a newsletter subscription for people to use.
All of you rock! Your knowledge is unsurpassable! Thank you for your help and your patience with me.
I would love to hear you comments

Home page:
###Latest Story Headline
Latest story teaser blurb, first two or three paragraphs and a read more… link. Also link the headline the same way. The read more and headline link to the full story which is in the Archive.
It’s optional to also have additional iterations of this format, where the most recent N stories in the blog are represented below the latest. After a while, you simply prune these off the bottom of the page, and update your archive’s index page so the links aren’t completely orphaned.
So if you build your feed from that HTML box – the one with the teasers in it – you will automatically get a useful RSS feed that trips your readers’ wires with the latest posts.

Great - now if I am adding the blog as new “pages” so that there is an archive as we discussed- will it still work - or do I need to add text to the same HTML box - and do the headers as accordions so that the txt does not overflow -

Whenever you add something new, RSS readers will see the update.
