Ways to read this blog
There are a range of ways you can read this blog. Which you choose will depend how often you are online and what other software you use.
1. The simple way: read it online using a browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer etc) whenever you happen to remember.
2. If you would prefer to receive the posts by email, you can subscribe in order to receive them. You can:
a) Type in your email address in the ‘Subscribe2′ box in the left side-bar, select the ‘Subscribe’ button and press Send; you will then receive a plaintext email with an excerpt of each post, with a link so you can read the full version on the website;
b) Register as a user by clicking the ‘Register’ link at the bottom of the right side-bar and filling in the short form. An email will be sent to your address containing a confirmation link - if you click on this link, your registration will be confirmed. You will then find yourself on your profile page; click on the ‘Subscriptions’ link and you will be able to set up an email message containing the full text (plaintext or html) or an excerpt. You can also subscribe to some posts but not others, according to the category they are in, if you wish.
If you use b) and select the full text option, you only have to go to the website once and you can read all the posts by email as soon as they appear. You can change your options or unsubscribe at any time.
3. You can use the syndication links at the top, under the title ‘Open Fidelity’, to subscribe to the blog using any of a large number of RSS feed readers.These can make the blog appear as a dynamic bookmark in Firefox, or it can be displayed on your iGoogle or My Yahoo! home page, or you can link to the latest posts from your own web page, or whatever.
Registration as a user (as in 2b) also has the advantage that you can comment on posts more easily and join in discussions about the issues I write about. If you aren’t registered and logged in, you will have to give a name and email address and type the word shown in a simple image in order to comment.
You can also download a free copy of my book, Open Fidelity - an A-Z Guide, or buy a print copy.
