4. Bookmarking the Blog

Bookmarking the blog doesn't allow you to receive updates from the blog but it helps when you want to follow multiple blogs or website and doesn't want to receive multiple notifications at the same time. 

By bookmarking the blogs you can visit them at any time without any spammy notifications, all you have to is manually visit the blog to know about new blog posts.
