Subscription tips to keep readers interested

My motivation for writing this post is not to step on Kamrul’s toes by providing tips for blog writers. It’s to ensure we don’t loose our readers’ interest after a recent influx of diverse topics being covered on this blog. So, I’m actually providing tips for readers by explaining how to find the content that interests them (you) most. That’s not to say that other blog editors won’t want to copy what we do to make subscription services more granular than most.

You can either read the posts on the blog itself, or subscribe to RSS feeds to have the posts delivered to you automatically. I’ve explained below, each method to help ensure you read only the content that you find interesting.

To receive automatic updates whenever a post is published

1. Click on the ‘Subscribe to blog feed‘ hyperlink on the top of the left sidebar. This will ensure you automatically receive all blog posts by RSS.
2. If you don’t like RSS, we will send you updates by email. Just place your email address in the box and select ‘Subscribe’. This option can also be found on the left sidebar. We will never give out your email address to anyone and we will never use it for promotional purposes.
3. Click on the orange icon beside the author you wish to subscribe to. The orange icons represent RSS feeds. Doing this will ensure you receive a notification as soon as a specific author has published a post.
4. Click on the orange icon beside the categories that interest you most to receive updates on posts that cover specific topics.

To find relevant posts on the blog

1. Visit this Web page on a regular basis
2. Click on the name of the author who you find interesting. For example, if you want to find tips and tricks on how to build blogs, click on Kamrul’s name. To find out what each person writes about, click on their name and see what categories they’re likely to cover. You’ll find the category names at the top of each post.
3. Click on a category name. This will list every blog post which has been tagged with that category, irrespective of who the author is.
4. Use the search facility. This is the most underused feature on any blog and one I highly recommend. It does what it says on the tin.

We also allow you to subscribe to comments on each post so you automatically receive an email whenever someone leaves a comment after you. That way, you don’t have to come back to our blog to check up on posts that you have commentated on.
