Let me break the fourth wall for a moment and ask the following question: How do you read this blog?
I am asking because even though I get a good number of page views every day that I post new content for a nine-month old blog, the number of subscribers to my RSS feed strikes me as extremely low relative to the number of page views I get every day.
I thus presume that people mostly come here via Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or directly via Google or by entering www.marcfbellemare.com in their browser’s address bar. The problem with any of those methods is that you’re likely to miss new posts if you don’t constantly monitor your Twitter, Facebook, or Google+ feeds.
I now offer two considerably more efficient ways of not missing a post: email and RSS.
If you would like to subscribe via email, the second item in the column on the right allows you to subscribe to this blog via email. You can choose to receive text or HTML versions of either previews of my posts or the posts themselves. After entering your email address, you will receive an email asking you to confirm that you want to receive updates via email.
Up until this week, the RSS button was not clearly highlighted. That is now fixed. If you look in the upper right corner, you’ll see an orange button that says “Click Here to Subscribe via RSS.” If you are the type of person who uses Google Reader (or any other reader that allows subscribing to RSS feeds), or if you would rather keep your inbox free, this is the best option for you.
Of course, I welcome each and every tweet, retweet, and Facebook “Like” that readers care to send my way. And if there is a topic you would like to hear my thoughts on, I always welcome new topics.
