Subscribing to Disciple of the Way

How do I subscribe?

Lately I have had a few more visitors to my blog so I thought I would just quickly remind you how you can subscribe to my rss feed and so never miss a post! However, I also understand that not everyone necessarily knows what RSS is all about, so let me give you a quick run down of the basics you might like to know!
RSS Feeds
An RSS feed is just something a blog makes so that other programs can collate articles from different blogs. You can use programs to collect the RSS feeds from all your favourite blogs and provide them to you in one, easy to access place. For example, I regularly read about 40 different blogs. If I was to go to all 40 websites every day, it would take a long time. Also, not every blog has a new entry every day, so it would also waste time. Because of this I use an RSS feed reader call Bloglines.

Left is a screen shot from my bloglines to give you an idea what it looks like. On the left you can see a list off many of the blogs that I visit. You will also see a couple are highlighted with a (1) next to them. This means those blogs have a new entry to read! If I click that link, the new entry will appear on the right, where you can see a post from Bek that I just opened.

Subscribing
So now to the point of my post! If you would like to make it easier to keep track of the blogs you read, including mine, you could sign up to a group like bloglines, or check out google for the best RSS feed readers.

Then, to subscribe to my blog, simply click the big orange picture in this entry, or the same image which is always situated at the top right hand corner of my blog. This will take you to my ‘feed’. From here you can simply choose which feed reader you use and it will add a subscription to my blog into that reader for you. Simple!

If you would like to do this but are still having problems, just drop a comment here and I can give some more detailed instructions:)

Happy reading!

    Cool blog :) Am currently trying to resist the temptation to start my own…I know that I would probably use it as a procrastination tool.

    Didn’t know about RSS. Thanks for the tip!
