Huzzah! Now you can track this sporadic site with RSS feeds!
An RSS feed is a painless way to track new information. It’s less work for both of us than an e-zine. Instead of having a cluttered inbox, you run a special (free) program called an aggregator when you feel like reading your feeds. I don’t even need your e-mail, because the feed is just a text file that I update and your aggregator downloads. (If you click on the pretty orange button before you get an aggregator, you’re in for a letdown.) Yep. A text file. I like text files.
You can get feeds from all over the place…(eventually I’ll list my favorites). Here’s my feeds:
The All-In-One Feed
XML Feed Supreme: Everything. Unabridged. Blogs, new manuscripts, headlines–you get it all. If you get this feed, you don’t need the others. (This is “Bill’s Feed!” on the navbar.)
The “Custom” Feeds
XML Blog: My blog gravitates towards learning to homestead, learning Linux, or anything in between.
XML MSS (manuscripts): Whether it’s an article, an odd kid’s lesson that was supposed to have educational value, or another award-winning script about talking feet, when it hits the site, you’ll know.
XML Distributism: Not Capitalism, not Communism, but a startling theory that there may be more than two possible ways to run our economy. Want freedom? Own your tools, your land, your company…or live at the whim of strangers.
XML Quest: In search of a homestead. Whether I’m stepping on chickens on an organic farm or driving to Tennessee to slap mud around and call it ‘building,’ you can’t say I’m just an armchair homesteader. Stupid, maybe…
XML Linux: Why pay for a prison? Check out a world of software you never knew existed–all free.
XML News: Is anyone actually homesteading anymore? Has any worker-owned company ever really survived? Did Bill see something cool on one of his own feeds that he can link to look informed? This is the kind of hardbitten journalism on which we thrive.
Why you shouldn’t try this
I can’t think of anything.
