Subscribe to My Blog: A How-To Guide
Posted by Jonathan WilliamsJun 8
So, it dawned on me this week that many people are just now beginning to understand what blogging is all about. Sure, we know that a blog is an online journal of sorts, and it’s an extension of the social media frenzy. But, many of us are just now beginning to understand the extra features that are out there.
For example, have you ever wondered what that strange, little, orange icon with waves is all about? (It’s this icon right here ↑ ) This little icon and others like it can be found all across the web, but what is it there for?
That little icon says, “Hey! Subscribe here! We’ll send you the blog posts from this site for free.” It shows that an RSS Feed is available from the site. That’s why I’ve got one in the upper right hand corner of this web page.
Okay, so now you know what it’s there for, but how does it work?
Watch this video to learn more about RSS Feeds & the little orange icon.
(And if you prefer you can subscribe by email, click subscribe to do that, too!)
Welcome to another dimension of the blogosphere!
Let me know if this little video was helpful to you.
