From puckett_chuck at hotmail.com Sun Sep 9 13:19:29 2007 From: puckett_chuck at hotmail.com (Chuck Puckett) Date: Sun Sep 9 13:19:45 2007 Subject: [Year Of Being 56] Year of Being 56 Blog Update: RSS Feed and Blog Registration Message-ID: A quick note for those who would like to keep up with the (almost) daily editorials, essays, and, yes, metaphysical ramblings that make up my entries to The Year of Being 56 blog. First, if you'd like to receive an email whenever a new entry is created, that can be accomplished by registering for what is called an RSS Feed, another name for "receiving an email whenever a new entry is created." You can do that by visiting the blog itself (www.yearofbeing56.com), where there are a couple of registration buttons. One will register you to receive mail for each new blog entry, and then there is a separate registration to receive comments made about blog entries. Signing up for one does not automatically enable the other. There's also a place to register for these email notices on the Contact page of my main web site: www.puckettpublishing.com/contact.htm#YOB56_RSS_Register Secondly, if you'd like to be a part of the blog process, and actually make comments on the blog postings, that too is possible, but you have to actually register yourself "in the blog" (anybody can read the entries, but to tack your comments onto a posting requires blog registration, which is separate from the RSS Feed described above). Blog registration can likewise be done on the blog site itself (there's an unobtrusive "Register" button down the right hand sidebar, and a "Login" button, which allows you to make comments after you've registered). Or take this shortcut to registering: http://puckettpublishing.com/YearOfBeing56/wp-register.php I imagine a few people who "registered" when the blog was first announced (you know who you are!) may have imagined they would be getting regular notices about entries, and have wondered why it has been so silent. Well, the truth is, you had only registered for the privilege of adding comments to the blog. If you check back, you'll see that there's been quite a bit of posting going on, and you'll probably want to sign up for the RSS Feed. Thanks for reading, and I really look forward to hearing from you! ttfn Chuck Puckett, Esq., BS, ~MS, ThD www.puckettpublishing.com "The unexamined life is not worth living."
