RSS and How to use a Feed Reader
by Gudrun Enger, of Kitchen Gadget Girl
This is not directly travel related, but I thought it was interesting enough to share with the Uptake Attractions readers. Did you know, that instead of coming to see what is new at Attractions every day, you can have the information emailed to you or you can read it all in an RSS reader? How’s that possible you ask? Let me explain:
Almost every day, we put up a new article from one our clever Attractions team (that would be Linda, Barbara, Rhea, Carol, Molly, Shari, Bridget, Jody or myself). If you are like me, you probably follow a bunch of blogs and visiting them each day can become problematic.
The solution is to subscribe to our blog, either through email or a feed reader (such as Google Reader or Blogline). This way, the content is pushed to you when we publish it on the site, and you don’t have to time your visits. Just like a newspaper or magazine.
Step 1:
Find the right-hand column of this page, and find the section entitled “Subscribe Me” (it is towards the top of the page)
Step 2:
Click on UpTake Attractions Blog
Step 3:
Determine if you want to subscribe via a reader or have it sent to your email address. Personally, I find a reader convenient to use – I can have all the blogs I follow listed in the reader, according to different categories, and then catch up on all my blogs at once. For more information about readers, check here and here. Here is even a video describing RSS in Plain English.
That was so easy! Three steps. What else in travel is three steps? Renting a car on Priceline takes longer than that!
We are glad to have you visit us here at Attractions and would be thrilled to have you as a subscriber. Any questions, please leave them in comments.
