How to Subscribe to This Blog

Thank you for your frequent visits and comments! You are always welcome here.

I’m glad you stop by regularly to discover more about how to live on purpose and create a destiny you love.

Technology makes things easy, so I’m writing this post to share with you how to subscribe to this blog, and why you would want to. I’ll also share how a subscription makes your life easier by saving you time and energy (always a plus).

The way to subscribe to this blog is through what’s called RSS, which stands for Real Simple Syndication, which is a fancy way of saying that you can be alerted when I post new information to the site, or when new pages are added without actually having to come visit the site.

This saves time and energy, because you visit the site once you’ve been alerted that new material has been posted or you can read the new material through your reader. It’s sort of like an updating service. And the best part is: it’s free and easy to set up.

How does it work?

Glad you asked! When you open your web browser, you see your home page, such as Google or Yahoo. Subscribing simply means that you’ll see the latest info that was posted at this website on your homepage. The title of the latest posts will appear on your homepage, with the first few sentences of each post.

You can subscribe using Google, even if you don’t have a Google account, by using Google Reader.

You can also subscribe by using Yahoo and other free services. After you’ve subscribed, when you open your web browser, your home page will show you the latest posts to this blog, along with the first few sentences. You can then visit here and read the whole post.

Okay, Valerie, how do I subscribe?

Glad you asked! Here are the steps:

1. At the top of this page, you’ll see an orange button. When you hover over it with your mouse, it says: “Subscribe to this site with RSS”. Click on this button.

If you don’t see the orange button at the top of this page, look to your right, and you’ll see a list of options under the heading “Subscribe to this blog with RSS”. Then click on the option that works for you. Yahoo is especially easy, one click puts this blog on your Yahoo homepage.

2. Once you’ve clicked on the orange button, you’ll see a screen that shows you a drop down box of choices, including Google and Yahoo. You’ll see Bloglines too. Once you’ve made your choice, click the SUBSCRIBE NOW button.

3.If you’ve chosen Google, you will see two options: Google Homepage or Google Reader. If you have Google as your home page, choose that option, and each time you see your home page, you’ll see the latest news from this blog.

If you choose Google Reader, you can list several websites that you’d like to read each day, all in one place, without having to navigate to each website (which is really nifty for saving time and energy–no use hunting all around the web if you don’t have to).

4. Follow the step-by-step instructions to set up a Google Reader account or to add this blog to your Google homepage.

My personal preference is using my Google homepage for the blogs I’m most interested in. When I open my browser, I’ve got all the blogs I like to keep up with in one handy place. Can you say easy and efficient? Love it!

Subscribing to this blog is a huge benefit if you love discovering more about yourself through personal and spiritual development, and if you like receiving thought provoking information, inspiration and resources that challenge you to live higher, along with practical ways to live better now and create a destiny you love.
