Email Subscription

After further research on blog subscriptions, I have found a way to subscribe by email to post updates.To subscribe to email updates, just use the email subscription bar located in the right, lower side bar of this blog. Sorry for any confusion as to feed aggregators, etc. It turns out that feed aggregators can be very confusing, time comsuming, and generally not to be used by the general Web users. Once again, sorry for any time this misdirection may have cost you.

Here is some information regarding how to subscribe to this blog using an RSS feed.

What is RSS feed?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, or Rich Site Summary. Users of RSS content use programs called feed ‘readers’ or ‘aggregators’: the user ‘subscribes’ to a feed by supplying to their reader a link to the feed; the reader can then check the user’s subscribed feeds to see if any of those feeds have new content since the last time it checked, and if so, retrieve that content and present it to the user.

Aggregators reduce the time and effort needed to regularly check websites for updates, creating a unique information space or “personal newspaper.” Once subscribed to a feed, an aggregator is able to check for new content at user-determined intervals and retrieve the update. The content is sometimes described as being “pulled” to the subscriber, as opposed to “pushed” with email or IM.

This should allow you to access a site feed that will let you know if there are any new posts on the blog.
