Here's your options for receiving updates about new blog posts:

<h2>Option 1: Email</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Email is by far my preferred option for notifying followers of new posts.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The entire email list system for this blog, from storing subscriber email
|
|
addresses to the email server which sends the notifications out, has been
|
|
designed from scratch and is completely self-hosted in my living room.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
I solemnly swear that:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
You will never receive an email from this blog except to notify of a new
|
|
post.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Your email will never be provided or sold to anyone else for any reason.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
With all that said, if you'd like to receive an email everytime a new blog
|
|
post is published then input your email below and smash that subscribe button!
|
|
You will need to verify your email, so be sure to check your spam folder to
|
|
complete the process if you don't immediately see anything in your inbox.

Unfortunately Google considers all emails from my mail server to be spam. I'm
|
|
tired of seeing the bounce errors on my side, so I'm disabling the ability to
|
|
sign up for the mailing list with a GMail address. Sorry (not sorry).

<h2>Option 2: RSS</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To follow over RSS give any RSS reader the following URL...
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<a href="{{ BlogURL "feed.xml" }}">{{ BlogURL "feed.xml" }}</a>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
...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:
|

|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-feed-reader/pnjaodmkngahhkoihejjehlcdlnohgmp">
|
|
Google Chrome Browser Extension

</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.etuldan.sparss.floss/">
|
|
spaRSS
|
|
</a>
|
|
is my preferred android RSS reader, but you'll need to install
|
|
<a href="https://f-droid.org/">f-droid</a> on your device to use it (a
|
|
good thing to do anyway, imo).
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="https://ranchero.com/netnewswire/">NetNewsWire</a>
|
|
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.
