All about subscribing to blogs

When you subscribe to blogs, new posts are delivered to you

When you subscribe to a blog, you get all of its new posts and updates delivered to you. You subscribe to blogs using an RSS reader, which is a tool that lets you read posts from multiple blogs on one page.

There are many advantages to subscribing to your favorite blogs:

• It saves time. You won't have to check multiple blogs each day to see if they've added new posts.
• You won't miss any updates. It's easy to miss some posts if you don't visit a particular blog very often. When you subscribe to a blog, every single one of its posts is sent to your RSS reader. Even if you don't check your reader for a week, the posts you haven't read will still be there waiting for you.
• It creates a feed of stories interesting to you. You'll be able to read posts on many topics and from various blogs, all in one place. It's like having a newspaper written just for you. Many RSS readers even recommend blogs similar to the ones you subscribe to so you'll always have something to read.
