Look To The Left

What is a feed? It could be a cookout. It could be filling the dog dish every morning.

Or not, if you’re talking about the web.

(Oh gosh, not a spider web. The world-wide web. )

What is RSS? It is, and this comes straight out of Wikipedia, an abbreviation for Really Simple Syndication. Further explained in Wikipedia - a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format.

You can subscribe to this blog by signing up to receive the RSS feed. It’s the little orange square at the top of your browser. But I think that’s kind of complicated. Because then you need Google Reader or some other service to send you the feed.

Enter Feedburner. What in the world is Feedburner? FeedBurner is a web feed management provider.

You’re asking – so what? Where is this going? When is she going to quit talking with all these strange words? Well …

Here is what this is leading up to. If you like reading this blog but get sick of checking it to see if I’ve posted anything new, now you can LOOK TO THE LEFT of this post and click on the link - Subscribe to The Dishes Will Wait By Email.

Fill out the information requested and you’re set!

Every time I post a new blog entry, you will get an email.

Simple as that.

Feedburner makes it possible.

P.S. A few select people already receive blog notifications from me by email. That is something entirely different. That is a service provided by Blogger that allows me to enter up to ten email addresses that I choose to receive notification. So if you are one of those people, DISREGARD THE ABOVE!!
