It’s time to bring Sprinters From The Tree<\/em> (and eventually the whole website) to more current format – a blog. From a webmaster’s perspective, there are many underlying reasons I won’t bore you with, but the 3 most important ones are backup, ease of searching inside the blog, and better search engine results (like Google and Bing). Though Jeffrey has his reservations, it will<\/strong> ultimately make his job easier as well.<\/p>\n

There is more than one way to read a blog. The first is if you really don\u2019t want to learn how to use a blog\/news reader, then you can just come to the website, click on the blog link, and read the articles. On the right side, you\u2019ll see links to years, months, articles. Clicking on the tiny arrow, will expand the choices. By default, the current month is expanded. The articles are in the order they were posted, reverse chronologically, just like the years.<\/p>\n

The other way is to use a blog reader. GoogleReader was the best in my opinion, but they eliminated it. Rather than tell you all about the alternatives, Lifehacker<\/a> has an article doing that. You can skip over \u201cstep one\u201d in that article as it is now moot. Note that in the \u201cFor Everyone Else\u201d section there\u2019s even a link on how to use Outlook as a reader. Personally, I use The Old Reader for some blogs, and Netvibes for others. The Netvibes link is in the \u201cFor Everyone Else\u201d section. I like these two the best as they seem to be the closest to the old GoogleReader. Your preference may be much different.<\/p>\n

The single most important thing you will need, regardless of which blog reader you use, is the \u201cfeed\u201d address. You want to use http:\/\/www.bassettbranches.org\/newsblog\/feed<\/strong> when the blog reader asks you for that information.<\/p>\n

The Splinters From The Tree<\/em> archives through 2013 (including December) will remain on the website indefinitely. Starting now (actually started in October), the articles will be in the blog format. If you use a reader, you\u2019ll get notified every time an article is posted, whether that\u2019s one a week, or 6 times a month or (fill in the blank); – whenever Jeff gets one done he\u2019ll give it to me to post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
