In case you do not know, this is actually a blog, not a website. A great feature of blogs is that you can subscribe to them (meaning you will receive a notification when a new post has been written). You can subscribe to our blog by RSS feed or by email.
To subscribe to this blog by RSS feed, you need to use a feed reader such as Google Reader. If you are unfamiliar with Google Reader, here is a one-minute video that will explain it: Google Reader in Plain English. Once you have a feed reader, you can subscribe to anything on the Internet that has the orange icon you see at the top, right-hand side of this blog (next to the icons for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn).
If you prefer to subscribe to this blog by email, enter your email address in the box below the Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and RSS icons and click “Subscribe.” After you click on “Subscribe,” a new window will open where you will need to enter some text to help prevent spam. After you click on the “Complete Subscription Request” button in that window, you will receive an email from FeedBurner with a confirmation link. You must click on the confirmation link in that email to confirm your subscription. If you do not click on the link, you will not receive email notifications when new blog posts have been made.
We are also starting a mailing list using PHPlist. We will use this mailing list to send messages about our upcoming conferences. You can subscribe to our mailing list by clicking on this link. After you click on the link, a new window will open where you can enter (and confirm) your email address. After clicking the “Subscribe to the Selected Mailing List” button, you will receive a confirmation message in your email’s inbox. Just like when subscribing to our blog by email, you will need to click on a confirmation link in that email. If you do not click on the confirmation link in the email, you will not receive our messages.
That’s it for now. We hope you will subscribe to our blog and our mailing list. We also hope to see you at our fall conference on October 29, 2011 which is just around the corner!
Happy reading!
Julie Niles Petersen, Immediate Past President
