Daily checking for new information on a blog is not easy to remember to do. I would suggest letting your computer do the following for you! How does this work??
RSS is built into EVERY blog. You can have your computer notify you each time there is a new post. Click on the link below to view the RSS feed for the Technology Learning Network
feed://technologylearningnetwork.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
If you are using Safari 2 or higher (requires OS X 10.4) you will see a simplified list of blog entries.
To save this feed you can do the following:
Safari 2 or higher
Now you can drag the icon of the website to your bookmarks toolbar (if you
use Safari 2 OSX 10.4 or higher) and it will place a number next to the
bookmark everytime something new is posted.
Firefox (works with OSX 10.3 and up as well as Windows XP)
If you use Firefox, when you visit a blog, you will see the icon for RSS at the end of the web address
When you click on the icon, you will be prompted to save the RSS feed as a bookmark. Click on Add
Firefox will add the RSS feed bookmark to the end of the list of
bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar. If you have many bookmarks here
already, then you will need to click on the double arrow to view the
feed (way down at the bottom of the list)
To move this bookmark back where you can see it, go to the Bookmarks menu and click on Organize Bookmarks.
Click and drag the RSS bookmark up to a point where it will be viewable on your Bookmarks Toolbar.
Here it is on my toolbar. By clicking on it you will see all the latest entries on the blog!
There are numerous other ways to track an RSS feed, but these are just two that I would recommend.
Here are some more sites to help with tracking a blog or news site with different browsers:
Safari
Internet Explorer 7 (Windows only)
Firefox howto video:
