+Here's your options for receiving updates about new blog posts:
+
+## Option 1: RSS
+
+RSS is the classic way to follow any blog. It comes from a time before
+aggregators like reddit and twitter stole the show, when people felt capable to
+manage their own content feeds. We should use it again.
+
+To follow over RSS give any RSS reader the following URL...
+
+<a href="{{site.url}}/feed.xml">{{site.url}}/feed.xml</a>
+
+...and posts from this blog will show up in your RSS feed as soon as they are
+published. There are literally thousands of RSS readers out there. Here's some
+recommendations:
+
+* [Google Chrome Browser Extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-feed-reader/pnjaodmkngahhkoihejjehlcdlnohgmp)
+
+* [spaRSS](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.etuldan.sparss.floss/) is my
+  preferred android RSS reader, but you'll need to install
+  [f-droid](https://f-droid.org/) on your device to use it (a good thing to do
+  anyway, imo).
+
+* [NetNewsWire](https://ranchero.com/netnewswire/) is a good reader for
+  iPhone/iPad/Mac devices, so I'm told. Their homepage description makes a much
+  better sales pitch for RSS than I ever could.
+
+## Option 2: Twitter
+
+New posts are automatically published to [my Twitter](https://twitter.com/{{
+site.twitter_username }}). Simply follow me there and pray the algorithm smiles
+upon my tweets enough to show them to you! :pray: :pray: :pray:
+
+## Option 3: Email?
+
+I tried setting up an RSS-to-Email list thing on Mailchimp but it doesn't seem
+to like my RSS feed. If anyone knows a better alternative please [email
+me.](mailto:mediocregopher@gmail.com)
