Ever subscribed to magazines in the past? It’s a great concept. Instead of tracking down each magazine at the store, they just show up at your house. Cool concept! Did you know you can do the same thing with Blogs? There are lots of benefits to subscribing to blogs, especially if you’re using an RSS reader. Here are some of them:
- You don’t have to go to all those blogs to see if they’ve been updated! Just like your magazines, the updates come to you in your Reader.
- Ever been to a website that only updates once a month? They have interesting stuff, but every time you go there it’s the same. Stop wasting your time and subscribe!
- It’s free to do. Unlike most magazines, blogs come to you free of charge.
- You can subscribe to all kinds of websites, not just blogs. Just look for the little orange icon. In Firefox, it’s located in the address bar, all the way to the right. In Internet Explorer, it’s below the address bar to the right. If there’s nothing to subscribe to, the icon won’t be there or it will be greyed out.
You may not have known that you can even subscribe to this blog. One of my readers asked about it, so I made the buttons more prominent than the orange ones mentioned above. They’re over on the right, but you can only see them if you’re looking at the actual site. Mine aren’t orange, but they look really cool. For more information about blogs, subscribing and what in the world RSS means, check out my about:blogs page on my other blog.
