Site Feed Updates

I've noticed that some people posting to the Guest Book are not subscribed to receive email updates when new information is posted to JamesRathUpdate.blogspot.com. You may not have noticed that you can sign up for email updates, which you can do in the right column under Links, or here:

Another way to know when the site is updated is to subscribe with a Site Feed reader. Here are a few Blogger.com recommends:

Bloglines (web-based), and NetNewsWire and Shrook (Mac OS X). More are listed at AtomEnabled.org.

I've been fairly pleased with Bloglines. It updates every hour, so it's not as fast as receiving emails, but could be faster if you check your email only once or twice a day. It has a notifier you can download (Mac or Windows) that will tell you when the site's been updated. If you go with them, here's a link that will set it up for you:





Bloglines is free, as are most of them. A lot of sites are moving to site feed updates because all of our email boxes are getting so over-crowded!
