Blog techie note #1

I am sorry to bring technology into the blog posts.  I, the technologist, want to get away from technology as much as I can. Hmm.  Hypocritical? Using this blog technology to discuss my escape from technology? Anyway...!

Scroll to the bottom of this page. You will see a couple contact options. #1 Keeper's Journal -> RRS and #2 Follow by email.  These are two ways to read new posts soon after they are published. While I don't expect anyone to be waiting with baited breath for my next post, there might be someone other than my mother who wants to know what is going on. I hope you will find time to go to the actual blog also. After all, it is prettier.

#1 Keeper's Journal to RRS (or ATOM).  For those of you who are into news readers, this is the tool to link the blog entries to your news reading applications. Two options are available. The first is to link to my posts only.   The second will link to comments.  I am testing Feedly news reader at the moment.   I think I like it.

#2 Follow by email.  This system will send you an email with the contents of my recent post. This is managed through a third party but seems quite well done. You will have to sign up for a free account (It is an automatic process) at FeedBurner to get the post forwarded to your email.  I have not seen a downside to this approach yet.

Of course you can always just browse back to the website anytime you want to see the latest posts or search for other entries. I hope you get something out of this blog in the long run. I think it will be fun from my end...
