Subscribe
I’ve discovered the joys of RSS feeds yesterday. Thanks -again- to the incredible people at Wordpress it’s very easy to subscribe to my blog.
I’m a Google lover as well as a Wordpress devotee, so I checked the way Google handles RSS feeds. If you know all about this, just add http://www.visual-art-research.com to your Google Reader.
If you are a novice, like me, this is the way to go:
At your Google page, check ‘more’ and click on ‘reader’
In reader, click ‘add a subscription’ then copy-paste http://www.visual-art-research.com in the box and you’re all set.
I will look into the RSS thing a bit more. I want to know, for example, how to add the little orange icon to my blog that allows you to subscribe to it with one mouseclick.
Later: The little orange icons showed up at the top of eache category archive page. Why? I didn’t put them there & don’t know how to get rid of them. And klicking on them leads me to a page with a diarrhoea of text that I don’t know what to do with.
Later: used Google Feed Burner and this info from the ‘net to make a big orange icon happen that actually enables you to subscribe to my blog. It sits in the top right hand corner. Now I need to find out how to make the little orange icons disappear. To be continued.
Later: I cheated. Solutions offered on the ‘net to get rid of the little orange icon insist that I change the code of my Wordpress installation, which I am hesitant to do. So I just made the little orange icon see-through. It is still there, but invisible.
Later: I took the big orange icon away again – it is ugly.
