There are a few ways to get notified of new posts to the Mediocre Blog.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Method 1: RSS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RSS is the classic way to follow any blog. 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!
