Just a quick technical update here: USU SHAFT is now using the FeedBurner service. This makes it very easy for you to subscribe to our blog in your favorite feed reader and stay up-to-date with USU SHAFT. If you’re not already subscribed to our feed or if you don’t know what a feed even is, now is a great time to add USU SHAFT to Google Reader (or any other feed reader). You can learn more about Google Reader and feed readers in general by watching the video below or by reading this page.
Also, if you want to follow the USU SHAFT blog but feed readers aren’t for you, we now offer a blog e-mail list as well! Just click on the “Blog Post Emails” link at the top of any page and you’ll receive a daily e-mail with the new posts from the USU SHAFT blog (note: the blog post e-mail list, which sends one message every day, is separate from our club events mailing list, which sends one message about every three weeks).
Nick is the brains behind the site. Thanks for doing this.
Most excelllent.
Is there an rss feed for the comments on this site?
Yes, it is at http://usu-shaft.com/comments/feed/. The comments feed is also handled through FeedBurner, so you can even get a daily digest of all comments at USU SHAFT via e-mail.
(update after a week)
This just isn’t going to work out for me. I’m one of the biggest advocate for the ability to subscribe to comments and posts by emails, but Feedburner is not really up to the task. New posts aren’t sent as they are published, and for whatever reason, I don’t even get notified of most of the new posts.
So, I’m back to RSS for posts, even though I dislike that.
I haven’t seen any problems with it completely missing posts, but yes, FeedBurner is only designed to do daily digests. It doesn’t send e-mails in real time. You might try running our RSS feed(s) through something like Feed My Inbox to have more control over the frequency of e-mails you receive.
unfortunately, feed my inbox had the same issue of only daily digests (at least, especially for the free version), so I guess I’ll just stick with the rss for now.
