Week 5 - Sign up for my blog on the RSS feed

I have added a easy to use RSS feed signup for my blog through "Feed My Inbox," (Activity #3). If you wish to follow my blog, all you have to do is go to the right hand menu bar and enter your e-mail address into the box just below "Follow My Blog -- RSS Feed." Once type in your e-mail all you have to do is click on the buttong "Submit." This will now send you an e-mail notification that I have added something to my blog.

If you wish to add my blog to your Google Reader or Bloglines you need to go to the bottom of the page and find "Subrscibe to: Posts (Atom). Once you click on this link it will give you an option to click on the link for Google Reader or other reader (like Bloglines).
