This blog is really only useful if you check it regularly, like two or three times a week. But what if you forget? If you have a My Yahoo or Google homepage, or use a blog “aggregator” like Bloglines, you can subscribe to this page so you don’t have to always come back to check for posts. Instead, every time I put up something new, you’ll see a link and summary on that other page. Here are three different ways to do it:
Bloglines

MY YAHOO instructions
Go to http://my.yahoo.com and log in. If you have a yahoo email address, you already have a My Yahoo page, even if you’ve never been there before. Find the little plus sign and click on the link to “Add Content.” Next to the “Find” button, there’s a small link that reads “Add RSS by URL”. Click on this. In the URL box that comes up, type this: http://jgarrigus.edublogs.org/feed/ and hit the button.

Click there and put the following into the box that comes up: http://jgarrigus.edublogs.org/feed/ and hit the button.
Or, just use this button:
