Keep up-to-date easily with an RSS feed or email subscription
By: David H. Johnston
Want to keep up-to-date to the comings and goings around here but don't have the energy to drop by and manually find out for yourself? We have two quick and easy solutions for you.
1) Subscribe to our RSS feed
If you don't know what an RSS feed is it's time to get on the cool kids bandwagon. RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". There is lots of software out there that you can use but probably the easiest to get started with is Google Reader.
Here is where it gets awesome. You find a site or a blog that offers an RSS feed, you click on the feed and you are automatically taken over to Google Reader where you can subscribe to the feed. Now you no longer need to visit the site hoping to find new content. Any new content posted to our site is presented to you on Google Reader with a headline and short article summery. You can quickly scan the articles, read the summery and click through directly to the article if you are interested.
It's a huge timesaver but beware! It can get addictive. You will find yourself keeping the reader open all day while at work and the second a new article is posted, you jump on it like a kid playing hopscotch. Of course I'm not talking about my self. I just heard it happening to other people you know. I don't have a problem...
Remember it is also your fastest way to get the latest celebrity gossip over at TMZ.
2) Email Subscription
Is setting up Google Reader to technical for you? It shouldn't be but that is ok, you can still keep your pulse on PaddlingInstructor.com by subscribing to our content email newsletter. Each morning you will get an email of all the latest news and blog postings that were added to the site over the past 24 hours.
You won't get any spam and you can jump off the list at any time if it isn't working out for you.
I hope that this helps.
