Simply 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 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 (a good thing to do anyway, + imo). + +* TODO: an iOS reader, for you Apple users. Someone please [email + me](mailto:mediocregopher.com) a recommendation. + + +## Method 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: + +## Method 3: Email + +I do solemnly swear to never ever ever: + +* Email you anything that's not a notification about new blog posts. + +* Give your email address to anyone for any reason. + +* Track whether or not you've opened the emails, clicked the links inside, or + anything like that. Delete every single one, I don't care. + +With that out of the way... if you'd like to receive an email everytime a new +post is published just type in your email and hit "Subscribe" below! + +<!-- Begin Mailchimp Signup Form --> +<link href="//cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/horizontal-slim-10_7.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> +<style type="text/css"> + #mc_embed_signup{ + } + /* Add your own Mailchimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block. + We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. */ +</style> +<div id="mc_embed_signup"> +<form action="https://gmail.us7.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=b01da7c6e6b3cb148e812a0fc&id=e4559a9a22" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank" novalidate> + <div id="mc_embed_signup_scroll"> + + <input type="email" value="" name="EMAIL" class="email" id="mce-EMAIL" placeholder="email address" required> + <!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups--> + <div style="position: absolute; left: -5000px;" aria-hidden="true"><input type="text" name="b_b01da7c6e6b3cb148e812a0fc_e4559a9a22" tabindex="-1" value=""></div> + <div class="clear"><input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="button"></div> + </div> +</form> +</div> +<!--End mc_embed_signup--> |
