Automatic notification of posts.
This site is capable of sending a notification to your home page when I add a post. The system is called RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and is very easy to set up. Here is the step-by-step for yahoo. Other home page systems are similar.
Go to your yahoo home page (My Yahoo)
Look for an icon saying "Add Content" and click it.
On the right side of the FIND CONTENT window is ADD RSS BY URL. Click it.
in the box for URL cut and paste the following
http://n1ahh.blogspot.com/atom.xml
and click ADD
It will then display some of the current syndicated items from the blog. click RETURN TO MY YAHOO.
Your yahoo home page will now have a content block called N1AHH. When I post something to the blog you will see the title and a few lines from the post. If you click on the N1AHH title it will take you to the blog. Clicking on one of the articles will present you with a copy of that article.
Now there is no need to keep checking the blog to see if anything has been added. You won't miss a thing. Most other home pages have a similar process. You find it and paste in the line above.
