Four Ways to Follow Uncool Mom
Thought it's about time I let readers know how to do an "RSS Feed" and other ways to follow the blog, other than typing in the address each time you want to check it out. Here are four options you might want to try:
By RSS Feed: This adds a link to uncoolmom.com on your Internet home page and a few titles of recent postings (that are updated), so if anything looks interesting you can click from your homepage to read them. To do this, go to your homepage, and if it has an Add Content tab or something like it, click on it, and look for "Add RSS Feed". Once you've clicked on Add RSS, where it asks for a URL, copy and paste this: http://uncoolmom.com/rss2.aspx
Via Facebook: This is an easy way to follow the blog if you're on Facebook a lot. Go to the sidebar of uncoolmom.com, and in the "Facebook Networked Blogs" box, click "Follow this Blog" at the bottom. (Even if you follow the blog in other ways, sign up to be a Facebook follower and help boost my numbers. My goal is 100 Facebook followers by the end of June and I'm close to 80 right now!) Once you're a follower, you have the option to put a link to the blog on your Facebook "Info" page as well as in other spots. If you put it on your sidebar and Info page, it will show up as "Blogs I Follow". Here's how to do that (and if you're already a follower, PLEEEESE try this out so your friends can know about the blog):
On your Facebook page, on the toolbar at the top, press (don't click) on "Settings", then click on "Application Settings". Then, on the "Networked Blogs" line, click on "Edit Settings". You have the choice to a.) add an icon of the blog as a "box" on your Facebook sidebar, b.) Put it under a Blogs "Tab" on your Facebook page, and/or c.) as a box on your Info page. Under "Privacy" on the Networked Blogs setting page, you choose who gets to see the blog icon on your page. (Of course, "everyone" is great but it's up to you!)
Via Email: Clickable titles of new blog postings are sent directly to your email inbox. On the blog homepage, look at the sidebar, scroll down to "Free Updates to My Blog Posts Via Email" and type in your email address.
Via Twitter: I'm on Twitter at Uncoolmomdotcom. Of course, it doesn't give you blog postings-- it's just a fun "extra".
A Note About Ads: Please drop me an email (patricia@uncoolmom.com) if you find any of the ads offensive or uncomfortable or just plain weird, and type the URL of the ad in your note (usually it's listed at the bottom of an ad). A few doozies have shown up lately (Google AdSense places them based on key words in the content and I never know what's going to show even though I signed up for "Ad Review") and I'm trying feverishly to block those I feel get into controversial territory or things I really don't want to be seen as "endorsing"!
