How to subscribe to blogs and news using RSS feeds



Okay, so instead of coming to this site to constantly keep updated on a new post, you can have it come to you! Your next step is to go to www.google.com/reader , but before you do, open a new browser window so that you can keep these instructions close at hand.

Look to the right of the screen and click on "Create an account." Fill out the information, then follow the instructions by opening your email to verify your new account. Once you have done that, you will be presented with a screen that shows a video. Watch it if you want, or you could just go on.

Over on the left hand side of the screen, there is a button that says "add subscription." In order to add my blog to your Google reader, all you would have to do is type in this address:
http://www.majoracanamus.blogspot.com/ Then, when a new post is written, you will automatically be alerted through your google reader account - no need to constantly visit my blog to stay updated!

If you are using a different subscription service, you can scroll down to the bottom of this page, click on the orange icon that says "subscribe to this post," follow the instructions, and it should work just fine.

By the way, when you receive these posts in your reader, it may help to click on the title of the post in the google reader. This will take you back to my blog, where you will be able to view any available videos. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they will come up in google reader - but - the technology is still advantageous in that you will not have to continually check the blog itself to see if there are updates.
