Get Your Strategy On
It’s been about six months since I’ve provided this little reminder to help
folks that are new to my blog. You may not know this yet, but one of my
goals is to simplify your life. With that in mind, here’s a quick
overview of how you can enjoy following blogs like this one and add more time to your day.
Several of you are running around the Internet
visiting this site and then that site and then that site and so on. I
know, because I can see the stats on my end from all the hits I’m
getting through browser searches. That process takes time. Lots of your
precious time. You deserve to have that time back to do more important things…like downloading free resources from NewSpring Ministries.
Right now, I’m tracking about 100 different blogs, but it only takes
me a handful of minutes each day. Rather than visiting each of those
sites individually, I take advantage of Really Simple Syndication (RSS)
to let the fun come to me in one location where I can scan only the new
posts and ignore the sites where I know nothing has been updated. You
can do this as well. It’s really simple.
With that in mind, here’s how you can easily subscribe to my blog:
1. Sign up for a "newsreader." I use Bloglines. Most people who follow my blog use Google Reader. If you use Firefox like me, it’s built in.
2. Copy the text in red into your newsreader and subscribe to my feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/TonyMorganOneOfTheSimplyStrategicGuys
If you want more options, just click the Feedburner icon on the top of the right column on my site, or you can go here.
If that sounds too complicated,
you can also receive my posts directly in your email inbox. Just
complete the email subscription form on the right sidebar of my blog.
There you have it. It’s that simple. Now, what are you going to do with all the extra time in your day?

How is Bloglines or Google Reader built into Firefox? I use the Sage plugin to Firefox. It puts my list of blogs in a small frame on the left and makes it easy to see when the blogs are updated. I don’t have to go to my bloglines site. What are your thoughts on the diff readers?

Well I for one, am going to be downloading Newspring resources. Thanks for asking. Or I will enjoy a sandwich.

Let me just say how much time Google Reader has saved me! I love it, love it!
With the extra time in my day, I end up reading more blogs… DOH!!!

I have tried to download from the Newspring site, but am told that the file is corrupted or missing.
