It is possible to read this blog using conventional WWW viewing techniques: i.e., by typing the URL into your browser's address window manually each time you wish to visit.
However, you can also use an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) aggregator, which will automatically notify you each time when there is a new post, or at selected intervals. This makes the blog function with the immediacy and automation of LISTSERV and email lists: new materials are sent to your RSS account, which in turn can be set to send those notifications directly to your selected email. Most websites (and all blogs) now publish RSS feeds.
RSS aggregators are a good way to keep track of large numbers of blogs and websites without having to manually visit them individually. Moreover, the recommended aggregator (bloglines) also permits "clipping" (online user-selected archiving) of articles you are interested in filing.
If you are interested to sign up for a (free) bloglines RSS aggregator account, click on the indicated Link in the left-margin of this page.
