Subscribe with RSS
I love RSS. It's a technology that lets me see when people I like have written things. And it's not controlled by any particular company. You can subscribe to pretty much any blog, podcast, or newsletter, and then as people publish new things they appear in your newsreader.
If you want to subscribe to the RSS feed for this site, copy this link and paste it into your newsreader. Or just give it the URL of any page of my blog, it can probably find it automatically from there.
If you don't use RSS yet, then I can recommend the website aboutfeeds.com to learn more.
