Blog updates and features

Frequent visitors will notice that a few additions have been made to the website.

  1. Now there is an easy way for you to include this blog's new entries in the RSS reader of your choice. Basically, if you have a Yahoo! or AOL welcome page, you can click on the relevant button on the right to "subscribe" this blog. New updates would automatically appear in a section on your home page. Internet Explorer and Firefox Mozilla have RSS features that allows you to subscribe to websites, where all the new entries are compiled in one place. You can also do this with Google or the Google Reader, which I use myself.
  2. You can elect to subscribe to receive new blog updates via email by clicking on the link. The service is provided by FeedBurner and your information is kept private. The only emails you would receive is subscription confirmation/activation email and email updates for each blog entry. (Currently averaging 10 a month.)
  3. This isn't a super new feature, but each entry has the possibility to comment on. Anyone is invited to make comments by clicking the link at the bottom of each entry. We love to hear from you!
That's all for now. If you have any moderately simple ways that this site can be improved, please let me know at derekreise@yahoo.com.
