Subscribe to This Blog
One major benefit of blogs is that they can be easily subscribed to and read from your desktop or email program. If you are subscribed to a blog feed, every time an update is made to that blog you receive a headline, excerpt, and link to the full entry. This is beneficial to you because:
- All your news in one place. You no longer have to go from one news site or blog to another to see if new updates have been made. You will now know whenever there is an update to a blog you are subscribed to.
- No more junk mail. You do not run the risk of having your email sold when you subscribe to blog feeds. Also, legitimate blog updates are not lost in a sea of your junk mail.
- Major news sites use blogs. In addition to personal blogs, you can subscribe to major news blogs from organizations like the New York Times and BBC.
There are a few programs that you can use to aggregate your news. I use and really like
News Gator, which sends my MS Outlook headlines, excerpts, and links to updates of blogs I'm subscribed to. Some other similar programs are:
Once you download one of these programs, you can subscribe to my blog using the xml and rdf links at
