There’s nothing that new in the IS 6010 and IS 7010 RSS feeds that I set up on July 3, but users should be able to select and subscribe to either of these feeds in their web browser, by using the RSS icon in their browsers address bar or toolbar. A browser-based subscription is a good option for users who use their own computer to check this site.
Which feed is which?
For users who read this blog on several different computers or their mobile phone, try a Web-based RSS reader. Just click the RSS logo shown on the IS 6100 or IS 7010 course pages. There are several good readers from Bloglines, Yahoo, Google and other services.
The subscription pages also offer an email option. Yes, users can have the blog articles for their course emailed to them on a regular basis.
There’s no good reason for any of my students to subscribe to all of my RSS feeds. My students should pick the specific feed for their course:
For IS 6100, use http://rss.billso.com/billso6100/
For IS 7010, use http://rss.billso.com/billso7010/
For the entire billso.com blog, including every article in both of the feeds shown above, use http://rss.billso.com/billsocom
For more information about RSS feeds and how I use them in my courses, read my January 23rd article entitled “What’s all this about a blog?” or this more detailed article at softwaregarden.com
