What is Feed Burner. Why you should use it.

So if you are one of the many that read this blog every day and check it regularly for new content you will be happy to know that there is a service that will deliver the newest posts directly to you. A Lot like USPS except it doesn’t cost me anything and you don’t have to put on your slippers to go get it. The most popular service is Feed Burner. I have just added it to this site and the icon is in the right column.

So How does Feed Burner work.

It is really quite simple and free. When you click on the button that says subscribe in reader it will take you to a new window. You will see something that looks like this.

You will likely see a familiar logo. Maybe you have a yahoo account or a Google account like most intelligent people. These companies that you use to check your email along with others have caught on to this popular blogging kick and have created readers. A reader is like a newspaper customized by you. All of your favorite blogs that you subscribe to like this one and this one will be included in the reader. So instead of trying to visit all of the blogs that you like with your morning coffee. You can open the reader and see them all in one place. This is also convenient when you find a blog that you may want to visit again but may not remember the URL. You can subscribe in your reader or bookmark it. If they let you down with boring content you can unsubscribe. It is like breaking up or just not answering the phone anymore. It’s ok it will likely make them a better person in the long run.

Why You Should Use It.

Because it is awesome. And because blogs usually have the latest news and trends affecting your industry or hobbies. You can stay in the know and become more intelligent and better looking as a result. It also lets the blogger know that you thought the blog was worth keeping track of. That is a great morale booster. As you can tell by the feed burner readers on this site, that unless I get some clicks soon morale could be low. But this is the season for giving so why not throw out a charity feed and sign up.
