Subscribing to blogs

Although we have links to the class blogs on this site, you can imagine that it would be pretty inefficient for any of us to check 50 blogs on a regular basis to see if particular people had posted!

Rather than going out and looking for posts, there's a way to subscribe to content on blogs/webpages that brings new posts to you!

In order to do this, you need to set up an account with an aggregator program like Google Reader. This is a free service that you can sign up for with your google account.

Whenever you go to a webpage or a blog that you want to keep tabs on, you'll click on the RSS feed icon. (The orange icon to the right in the address bar.) You'll get a prompt to add the subscription to your account. (You can keep your subscriptions in folders, change their names, etc.)

Then, when you are ready to read blog posts, you can go to your Google Reader page and you'll see all of the new posts from the blogs to which you've subscribed!
