How to "Follow" a Blog...




In speaking of Spring, the weather guy that I follow at AccuWeather.com (Elliot Abrams) posted a blog this morning saying Spring was "Just around the corner but it's a long way to the end of the block!" I thought that was a great description. It looks like a moonscape around the campuses with 2 feet of snow on the ground! I hope the Groundhog was right...

Yesterday I mentioned that I would send out some ways to follow this blog... This way, whenever I post, you will be notified automatically. Here are 3 easy ways:

1. Subscribe via email. On the left of this blog page there is a "Subscribe via Email" gadget. Just enter your email address, go to your inbox and confirm by clicking on the activation link in the email that you will be sent. Its as simple as that.

2. Put it on your iGoogle Page. Many of you have heard me say that my iGoogle page is without a doubt the most useful, effective, and transformative resource that I have come across. If you do not have one, I urge you to make one and make it the homepage on your browser. You won't regret it. I will do an entire post on it again shortly. If you add Google Reader to your page, you can paste the address of this blog into the reader. Whenever I post a new post, it will pop-up in your reader right on your iGoogle page. Some blogs have their own gadgets that you can add to your iGoogle page. (for instance). Maybe I will figure out how to make one for my blog. If i figure it out, I will let you know.

3. Join MyBigCampus. If you Join MyBigCampus, you can "folllow" me and whenever I post to the blog, you will be notified on your wall. Here is a voice from the past, Keith Rafaniello, describing how to create a MyBigCampus account if you have not already done so.

Hope this helps!
