Feeding the hungry: Attempt at simple synidcation.

You will have noted an upsurge in posts over the past week or so, triggered by an unprecedented series of Caribbean success in the Beijing Olympics. My blog is distributed to e-mail subscribers by an automatic program that picks up new posts at around 4am EST. For most people that may be fine. However, there are faster alternatives, in the form of an RSS (real simple synidication) feed.

The blog now has this option for subscription by more regular update, and it's located to the right of the latest item posted.

Alternatively, you should see an RSS icon in the address bar area of your browser when you open the Living in Barbados blog address [http://livinginbarbados.blogspot.com/], probably to the right--it looks like the image to the right.

Or you can customize something like your My Yahoo! page to add an RSS feed, in which case you need to paste in the address [http://feeds.feedburner.com/LivingInBarbados].

Either option described should allow you to synidicate to the blog and have new material sent to My Yahoo! or Google Reader, for example. Good luck.

If you are not sure about what the above means, watch the cool little video.



I'll be happy to try to deal with simple feedback.
