Updates made easy

Hey guys! I just figured out there are two ways to get emails when I post stuff to this blog. The first is to become a follower. This is the easiest method. The link for that is on the right side of the page. Enter an email address and click follow. I believe this option sends an email as soon as I post something. The other is to use "Follow by Email" at the bottom of the page. This option sends an email during the day to alert you if I have posted. Both methods require an email address. (obviously!) For the "Follow by Email", the instructions are below.

I believe the "Follow by Email" is more private, since you don't appear as a follower of the site as you do if you sign up using the "Follower" link (did you notice I have a couple of followers? Thanks to you two!). Perhaps someone more blog savvy than me (i.e. my sister) can let me know what the major difference is between each method. :)

Here's what you do:
1. Go to the VERY bottom of my this page. (it's to the right of the "Links worth looking into")
2. At the bottom you will see a title entitled "Follow by Email". Under the title there will be a spot to enter your email address.
3. Enter your email and click "submit"
4. After submitting, you will be taken to a new screen. You will have to enter a random word to complete this step. (just follow the instructions!) Enter the random word.
5. Next, you will have to log into your email account that you entered in step 3.
6. Log into your email, and you should have received an email from FeedBurner. It should be titled "FeedBurner Email Subscription". Open the email and click on the blue link. That's it!

Now when I post to the blog, you will receive an email with the post in it. Pretty cool. Don't ask me how it works though! Still visit the blog every once and a while for old time's sake! (I am not sure if I update other stuff, like the calendar, if you get that as well...let me know!) God Bless!
