How To Subscribe To A Blog
You should have already read through my first article on What Is A Blog? and you should now realize the importance and value of the content a blog can deliver. A good blog will post at least one article a day 5 days a week (Monday - Friday). That’s what we’re trying to teach here at The Global Workplace. Most people won’t check a website or blog everyday, but they will check their email on a daily basis. So, what is the best way to get all of this great content delivered to you on a daily basis? Subscribe to the blogs that meet your interests. Now you’re probably wondering how do I subscribe to a blog?
How To Subscribe To A Blog
There are two ways to subscribe to a blog. Although not all blogs will offer you both options (all of the blogs participating in the Minds Like Water network will offer you both methods of subscription). The first way is quite simple. Subscribe to the blog feed through email. The only problem is not every blog gives you the option to subscribe by email. However most blogs will give you the option to subscribe through their RSS feed.
Subscribe To A Blog With Email
Take a look at the upper right corner of this blog…you should see the following:
Just type your email address into the text box and click subscribe. You’ll get one of those challenge questions asking you to type the text in the box to confirm you’re not just spamming. Click the “Complete Subscription Request” button and you’re done. You’ll receive an email everytime the blog posts new content.
Subscribe To A Blog Through The RSS Feed
The second method for subscribing to a blog is through it’s RSS feed. This is only slightly more difficult and requires a little setup beforehand. For now we’re not going to go over subscribing using the RSS Feed. All I’d like to say right now is once you setup your RSS feed reader you can simply click on the little orange button found on the far right of the address bar (the bar that should say something like http://globalworkplace.com) or use the orange button found in the top right corner of most blogs (sometime it’s humongous). That little orange button looks like this:
We’ll go over setting up your RSS Feed reader a few days from now. It’s actually the preferred method for subscribing to a blog. Just think…if you subscribed to 10, 20, or a 100 blogs using your email address you’d get bombarded by 100’s of emails daily. RSS Feed Readers is a better way to go and will help you to organize all of the blog feeds you subscribe to. We’ll talk about it soon.
Action Items
- Subscribe to my three blogs using the email method.
- Puppy In Training
- The Global Workplace
- Minds Like Water - a little different then the other two, but I’m confident you can figure it out (hint - click on the BLOG link on the main navigation bar) .
It’s pretty simple, but for now just subscribe via email to my three blogs. I don’t want your email to get bogged down with tens to hundreds of blog feed subscriptions.
What do you think? Was that pretty simple? Do you have other ways you like keeping abreast on the latest blog news?
