Keeping up to date

If you'd like to be notified of new postings on this blog, there are two ways - using an RSS reader or asking me to send you e-mail updates.

I recommend learning about RSS readers and using them, but if you're new to RSS feeds, don't like them, and don't want to use them for whatever reason, you can subscribe via e-mail updates by using the form included in the sidebar to the right. However, I recommend using an RSS reader. These are used to keep track of all the new content posted on websites you visit in one convenient place. The provide a headline/abstract format which allows you to quickly scan information. If you want to read more, a click will take you to the full article in question. Click here to see all the feeds I subscribe to (too many!). Click on one of the links to see an example of the headline/abstract format. Here are two RSS readers:

Bloglines. This is the reader I use - it's web-based, meaning it works through your browser and you don't have to install anything on your computer, and has a lot of nice features. Once you sign up for an account, you can click here or on the button at the right to subscribe to this blog.

Google Reader. I haven't tried this, but it looks cool and plan to check it out. Also, incidentally, check out Google Talk. The sound quality for the voice chat is amazing. If you'd like to chat, add a comment to this post and I'll get in touch!

If you use a Mac, Safari has a built-in RSS icon (Firefox does, too). The URL for this blog is

Copy and paste the above url into the appropriate field on whatever RSS reader you use and it should get you subscribed.
