How to subscribe to the KindleBoards blog

[Harvey]

Did you know that you can subscribe to KindleBoards blog - and see the latest blog posts in your feedreader?

(A feedreader is a service that lets you read syndicated feeds from websites, known as "RSS feeds". A commonly-used feedreader is Google Reader, which you can set up at http://www.google.com/reader.)

For some, it's just as easy to go straight to KindleBoards.com/blog and see the latest blog posts. But if you prefer, you can have our latest posts delivered to your feedreader.

To subscribe, just click on the orange RSS feed icon at the bottom of any blog page.



You'll then see a screen similar to the one below, asking how you want to receive the feed. If this is your first feed, I'd recommend using Google Reader.



Once you've done that, you'll see the latest KindleBoard blog posts (as well as any other sites you may subscribe to), anytime you go to your reader. Here's a screenshot from my setup at Google Reader (e.g. http://www.google.com/reader).



That's it! Let me know if you have questions or problems.

For everyone's information, you can have the Kindleboards blog sent wirelessly to your Kindle via the Kindlefeeder service.   You have to set up your account first at www.kindlefeeder.com.  Then, you can add the Kindleboards blog by using the url showing after you've clicked the 'subscribe to feed' link.  It doesn't send the pictures, but you get all the words. 

caveat:  some have suggested the kindlefeeder service violates the terms of amazon's wireless use.  The developer of the site, however, has contacted Amazon about whether the service violates anything.  That was in October and he has not received a response.  My feeling is that it is not a violation; I do NOT use it for blogs I could otherwise subscribe to on Kindle via Amazon, which I do think would be kind of low. . .
