Feeds Now Burned!

Hey there loyal (and first-time) readers of Frivolous Motion.

As the new year approaches this blog has been undergoing some subtle (and some drastic) changes, and I appreciate your continued support and comments. One semi-major change that I just made is switching to FeedBurner for serving up the RSS subscription feed for this site. For those of you who already subscribe to Frivolous Motion, I would like to kindly ask that you update your subscription to the new feed so I can begin tracking subscriptions. You can do this by deleting the current feed and re-subscribing using the link at the top of the sidebar. Some services might let you type in the URL of the new feed.

In that case, it is:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/FrivolousMotion.

I guess you could just click that link, too.

For those of you wondering what the heck I am talking about, RSS feeds are a way of distributing all the newest content on a webpage as it is posted. You simply need to get an RSS Reader (Google Reader is the one I use, and it is awesome), enter the site’s URL or click the subscribe button on any page, and you automatically get served only the freshest content in an easily-scannable, customizable interface. This way you don’t have to manually visit each site that you read regularly just to check to see if they’ve added anything new since your last visit (In my experience this can get really overwhelming). I have found RSS to be incredibly convenient since I started using Google Reader consistently, and right now have 73 sites that I receive updates for, and am always adding more.

If you like what Frivolous Motion has to offer (and I hope you do - if not, definitely leave some comments with suggestions for the direction you’d like to see me take in the next year), please consider subscribing to the feed by clicking the link in the sidebar. RSS will make your life easier, and isn’t that what technology is all about?

Should be all about, at least?
