Steve,
Thanks for including NC on your site.
Great to see you are getting behind this as a world changing entity. NC’s short term coodinator Christiana Rice just got back from taking half a dozen sojourners on their first “Beyond the Borders” two-week “road trip.” She said it went great and lives are changing.
I just set up my own blog, thanks in part to your encouragement to Sam.
By the way, how do I subscribe to your blog and link it on mine?
Thanks much,
tom
Tom, great to hear you are blogging at http://www.xanga.com/walkaboutmystic
Looking forward to the launch of Sam’s blog.
I’ll get my blog mentor to follow up with the details on how best to subscribe and link.
See you in June!
Tom and Steve,
Blogs are powered by a nifty thing called RSS. And there are loads of RSS readers and such around the place. Any of these will allow you to “subscribe” to Steve’s or any other blog.
For my purposes I use a Firefox extension called Sage, which does that. I also use Bloglines, which is a website. There is also a good Mac newsreader called NewsFire, which is a downloadable application that runs on your machine.
There is a real skill to goor research and news gathering that deserves a long post of its own. I might do that!
Now, linking Steve’s blog to your site is dependent on your software. In WordPress, there’s a section of the administration area for links. I have no experience of TypePad or MovableType, etc, but it will be similar. In your case with Xanga, I would suggest checking their help files, etc. I have no experience of Xanga. I note the links you have there now are not hyperlinked, which is something to try and fix.
Hope this helps a little.
