Don't Miss Another Jacket Times Post! RSS!

If you're wondering if there's a better way to check in on this and other blogs, not miss new posts, and not have to remember to check each page yourself, the answer is yes.

Web 2.0 has brought us a little goodie called RSS. The short of it is that it's a feed straight from this and other sites that can be read in a news aggregator. All you have to do is tune in to one site or software program, and all of the latest updates from your favorite sites will be right there, waiting to be read. It'll even keep track of which ones you've already seen so you don't have to sift through them. I personally track several CBJ blogs this way, plus a couple dozen regularly updated sites.

I recommend using Google Reader for this service. It's fast, free, and can connect to your other Google services, such as G-Mail, Blogger, or your personalized home page.

Also, I added the ability to have The Jacket Times emailed to you at each update. To sign up, just enter your email address on the right side of the page. I'd still recommend an RSS reader, but this is a good option if you're not ready to jump into that right away.

If you're ready to pick up the feed, the address for it is http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheJacketTimes if you're using firefox (and probably IE) it will offer you the option of adding a subscription, right form that link. Otherwise, copy & paste that link into your RSS reader.
