It’s easier than tracking those crazy Kardashians, I promise.

Many of you have mentioned to me that you have trouble remembering to check the site, and wish there were a better way to “keep up”.  I know how you feel.  I was once like you, and not that long ago.

My sis-in-law keeps a household blog, which is a really cool way to keep friends and family updated on the goings-on at their house, without sending mass emails with large photos attached.  About a year ago, I read one of her entries, and then emailed her to say that a) I thought the entry was great!, and b) I just read like three month’s worth of stuff, because I always forgot to check the site.  Is there a better way?, I asked.

That’s when she schooled me on RSS readers, and I immediately started using Google Reader to track not only her blog, but the several others I found interesting (along with quite a few nerd blogs for work).  It was like scanning the headlines of a news site, but the “news” was all the new content on sites I specified.  Cool!

So now that I’m on the other side of this blogging thing, I want to make things as easy as I can on you.  Here’s the lowdown on how to stay on the up-and-up with WFI:

1) Use your terrific brainpower to remember that I generally post new content every Monday night.  (Good luck with that one.)

2) Use an RSS Reader, like I mentioned above.  I chose Google’s offering because they already have their hooks in me with Gmail, and it’s a single sign-on, but there are several options out there – ask around and find one you like.

3) There’s a handy new box up there on the top right of the page that allows you to subscribe via e-mail.  Follow the simple steps, and it’ll send my entry to your inbox every time I post something new.

4) Facebook Option #1: If you’re a Facebook user, you can become a fan of the WFI page here.  I post a status update each time I make an entry.

5) Facebook Option #2: If you’re a Facebook user, but don’t check it often and don’t want to miss out, you can subscribe to WFI’s status updates via text message to your phone.  Just go to the WFI page, become a fan, and then choose “Subscribe via SMS” under the photo.  (You must have your phone set up to do this.  Go to Settings > Account Settings > Mobile to get started.)  And yes, you can subscribe via text to any of your FB friends, which is yet another reason to only be-friend folks you actually know…

6) Twitter.  Okay, so I’ve been neglecting the whole Twitter thing.  In theory, I tweet every time I make a new entry, but as of now, all three (count ‘em, three!) of my followers on Twitter are also on Facebook.  I’m sure there are folks residing in TwitterNation that aren’t citizens of FBNation – I just haven’t encountered them yet.  Follow me here, and I’ll do a better job of tweeting, puddy tat.

So there you have it, folks – not one, not two, but SIX ways to stay current with WFI.  For someone who knows next to nothing about the technical side of this blogging thing, I’m gonna go ahead and say that’s not too shabby.
