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... + +{{site.url}}/feed.xml + +...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) -- cgit v1.2.3
