How to Subscribe to my Blog

I've received a couple of emails from people asking HOW they can subscribe to my blog. 

Below is a SHORT video that will show you three different ways you can get notified when I've written a new blog post.  Feel free to simply watch the video, subscribe, and be done; however, if you want to learn a little bit more about RSS Feeds, continue reading below the video.

What IS is an RSS? RSS Explained.

RSS stands for Rich Site Summary. It's format for delivering regularly changing web contact -- oftentimes news-related sites, blogs, etc.

Why might I want to use RSS?

I follow 17 blogs on a regular basis.  Without an RSS, I would have to visit each of those websites daily to see if they've been updated. That's a lot of running around the net! 

To save me time, I use Protopage as my reader -- although there are a TON of RSS readers out there. This means I go to ONE website, and I can find all the sites I follow in one place. Without having to go to each website, I can see if there is an update, and even read the title to see if I want to go to the site to read it -- similar to using the subject line of an email to determine if you want need to read it.

What if I don't follow a lot of websites?

No problem!  Then just subscribe using your email address or Google+.

Welcome to Library Goddess Techie Tips and Tricks!



Welcome!  My goal with this blog is to offer short, simple tips and tricks with regards to technology.  With my school district's very recent shift to Gmail, Google Calendar, and Drive, I'm hoping this will be a go-to place for staff to get quick answers to questions they may have.

If you have a question or a suggestion for a future post, please let me know!

Please also check out my wikis -- a place where I showcase student work.
