In my intro post I talked about using a RSS reader. Well here are the details on how to get going using a free, popular RSS reader from Google–the Google Reader and best of all it is free. Thanks to Ed Jordan, who kindly submitted this information.
- Open your Web browser and go to reader.Google.com.
- If you have a Google account already, just type your email and password and click “Sign In.”
- If you don’t have a Google account yet, do the following…
A. Click “Create an account now”
B. On the next screen, type in your email address and choose a password
C. Complete the form on this page and click the “I accept. Create my account” button.
D. Google will send a confirmation email to the email address that you supplied. When you receive Google’s email, click the link in it to confirm your address.
E. In your Web browser, go to reader.Google.com again if necessary and sign in using the email address and password you supplied to them when you signed up. - On your Google Reader home page, click the “Add Subscription” button in the left column.
- In the edit box that pops up, type the Web address of the blog that you want to subscribe to (in this case, “ttumccelebratesrecovery.wordpress.com” without the quotation marks).
Now, whenever you’re using the Internet, open a Web browser window that is pointed at reader.Google.com and you’ll be notified when TTUMC Celebrates Recovery has been updated. You can read the blog entry in Google Reader, or you can click a link and visit the actual blog to leave a comment.
Use Google reader to subscribe to other blogs as well. In fact, while you’re at it, here are a few at my church that you can subscribe to:
News from Pastor Jerry – Pastor Jerry Johnson
News from the communications team – Clearly TTUMC
News about what’s going on at TTUMC – EPIC Conversations
News from the Caring Team -Effective Christlike Caring
News from the youth director – Erica Ares
