"How To Subscribe To This Site"
Click on the orange RSS button to get
the latest Web pages from this site. You can use them anywhere else on
the Web (they're everywhere nowadays) to get newsfeeds from CNN or BBC,
or just about anything else, including news on upcoming movies and DVD
releases, your favorite musician's tour updates, etc.
Once you get started, it's like having
your favorite parts of the Web come to you. No need to go out and check
for updates all the time. No need for bookmarks!
"RSS" means "Really Simple
Syndication." But that's just a fancy way of saying that you can keep
up with all the updates to this site without having to check
the site every week to see "what's new." New pages and
updates to old ones are released through RSS.
How do you get started?
Easy!
Download a free
RSS Reader first (or skip to the bottom to learn about Web-based
readers). This is special software that reads the RSS feeds...
Windows -- RssReader
http://www.rssreader.com/
Mac -- NetNewsWire
http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/
Once you're set up, here's all you
have to do...
Right-click
(control-click for Mac users) on the orange RSS
button on any page of this site, or any blog or news source that
interests you.  Select
Copy Shortcut
("Copy Link to Clipboard" on a Mac), and paste
that URL into your RSS Reader.
That's it! You'll be subscribed.
You can also use a Web-based RSS
reader, like My Yahoo!, My MSN, or iGoogle/Google Reader. Look for any
of these buttons on a page on this site.
Click on that button to add the RSS
feed to that Web-based reader. If you don't yet have an account, you
can set up one after clicking on the button.
