<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>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 <b>The Year of Being 56</b> blog.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><i>First</i></b>, 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 <b>RSS Feed</b>, another name for “receiving an email
whenever a new entry is created.” You can do that by visiting<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>the blog itself (<a href="http://www.yearofbeing56.com">www.yearofbeing56.com</a>),
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 <i>comments </i>made about blog entries. Signing up for one does not
automatically enable the other.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There’s also a place to register for these email notices
on the Contact page of my main web site:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><a
href="http://www.puckettpublishing.com/contact.htm#YOB56_RSS_Register">www.puckettpublishing.com/contact.htm#YOB56_RSS_Register</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><i>Secondly</i></b>, if you’d like to be a <i>part</i>
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:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><a
href="http://puckettpublishing.com/YearOfBeing56/wp-register.php">http://puckettpublishing.com/YearOfBeing56/wp-register.php</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for reading, and I really look forward to hearing
from you!<o:p></o:p></p>
