I would recommend having a single site that handles both. It's really easy to set up with Feedburner. They offer a free (yes, free) service that enables you to set up RSS and email subscriptions and place links in your blog. They send a daily digest to all email subscribers and RSS subscribers get updated in their RSS Reader. You don't have to do a thing. They integrate smoothly with all of the major blog players (Typepad, Wordpress, Blogger, etc.). You can even customize the look and feel of the email newsletter to include your logo, colors, etc. Very nice service and you can track subscribers, what they've read, where they clicked, etc. For a small fee (maybe $5 a month, you get more advanced tracking information). If you are into podcasting (or want to get into it), they provide some nice tools for handling podcasting as well. I'm not as familiar with these as I'm not a podcaster (yet).
