Get edu.blogs.com and some EXTRA goodness - subscribe!

What you see on this page might be forever changing and a little tricky sometimes to keep up with. Over the next month in particular, I will be reporting from several world class conferences and providing some great news about developments in Scottish uses of social media, along with resources to help get your management onside with the transformative social tools we can use in our classrooms and beyond.

So how do you not miss a trick? Subscribe to my blog for free.

There are some advantages to having my blog content delivered to you, instead of you having to come to my site every day.

• Time-saving - don't waste time coming here when there's no news.
• Extra information - by subscribing you get my daily roundup of bookmarks; what have I been adding to my favourites in the last 24 hours?
• Create your personal archive - like a post and want to keep it? By subscribing you can have a copy of my post on your hard disk in the click of a button.

How do I subscribe?

The easiest way to get every post is to receive a daily email by adding your email address here.

If you want to read several blogs (more than a dozen, perhaps), then invest some time in setting up a feedreader, following these instructions:

1. Right click this link and copy the shortcut (or copy and paste this link: http://feeds.feedburner.com/edublogs)
2. Go to Netvibes.com
3. Top left of screen
   1. Add Content button - click it
   2. Add My Feed - click it
4. Place the cursor in the white box and paste
5. Click Add feed

If you use the same computer you will receive news of the latest edu.blogs.com feeds every time you go to Netvibes - make it your home page, even!

If you use a public computer you can create a Netvibes account for free and login anywhere to catch up with your edu.blogs.com news.

Google Reader or PageFlakes work in a similar way.

Netvibes offer a make-you-own subscribe button, too, that other edubloggers might want to try: http://eco.netvibes.com/button

Not to mention the fact that you can chose between different rss readers. Perhaps Google Reader is the simples one (and simplicity is profound).

Only 1 guy uses netvibes to subscribe to my blog, weird indeed.

Shameless self publicity this may be, but for any of your more 'audio-visual' learners, I have a movie explaining how to do this very thing at http://www.whereisab.co.uk/trackblogs.php.

I got stuck at the first hurdle and the ones following!
"Right click this link and copy the shortcut (you can also right click the orange button, top right)"

What is the shortcut - the URL ?

Saw no orange button - on a Mac safari

2.Go to netvibes - fine

"3. Top left of screen, Add My Feed - click it"

No 'Add My Feed' to be seen

signed on - still no help

Completely bamboozled - gave up!

Anyone like to help?
