Easy RSS Feed Subscription (for Macs)



It's easy to subscripe to this blog using Safari's RSS feed capabities. That way you don't have to visit the page to know if it's been updated. Safari will check the page for updates automatically. Here's how to subscribe to the RSS feed for this blog using Mac's Safari.

On the blog's main page, click on the RSS icon on the right side of the address field, which is at the top of the page. You will then see the RSS feed in your brwoser window, which just looks like a stripped down version of the blog without much formatting.

The way I like to subscribe to an RSS feed is to add it to my bookmarks bar at the top of the page. To do this, drag the icon on the left side of the address field (usually a grey box) onto your bookmarks bar (that's the area just below the address field.) When there's a new post, Safari will add a number next to the bookmark, notifying you of how many unread posts are available at that feed (e.g. "Hype Link (1)" ).

So if you can make space for me in your bookmark bar, it's an easy way to know when there's a new post on the Hyper Link blog.
