Tips on reading and following blogs... (boring)

This is a quick how to for following a blog, so if you already do this in your own way you can ignore this post.

There are a few different ways to follow blogs.

1. Just keep on looking at this page, this is what most people do but you wont get updated that there is a new post for you to read until you check the website.

2. Use your browser to monitor the blog for you. IE and Firefox both allow you to subscribe to a blog (at the bottom of this blog you can see a 'subscribe to posts' link, click this link and your browser should ask you how you want to follow the blog. Now when there is a new post your browser should inform you.

3. Windows based blog reader like FeedDemon this provides an application on your desktop that can be used to alert you that a blog has a new post. And once downloaded the blog post is always on your machine, so if you disconnect from the internet you can still read the blog posts.

4. Finally you can use a web based reader like 'google reader' (I use this a lot). basically if you have a gmail account you can go to https://www.google.com/reader/ and add the blog to this using the add subscription link.

But in the end its up to you, loads of options.
