Want to keep up with Reed?

Want to see pictures of Reed and read updates about him but you can never remember to check his blog and Flickr? I’ve created a feed that you can subscribe to via email that will update you every time a new picture of Reed has been posted or a blog post has been written. The feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/reedfeed and was made using Yahoo! Pipes.

For those of you who have no idea what an RSS feed is and just want to get alerted via email when there are new photos and blog posts about Reed, you can subscribe via email.

The email subscription box on the side of the blog is just to subscribe to the blog content — entering your email into the box in this post and clicking Subscribe will update you both when we post to the blog and when new photos of Reed are posted to Flickr.

I believe this will send each photo as a separate email, so be prepared that if we upload 20 pictures of Reed, you’ll get 20 emails each with a separate picture. If you want to receive just one alert per day (and only if new stuff is posted) you can create a Yahoo! Alert (note, you will be prompted to log into Yahoo! and if you don’t already have an account, you’ll be able to create a free one then). On the alerts page, you’ll need to enter the RSS feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/reedfeed and then under “Choose how often you want Alerts delivered” click on the radio button next to “Once a day, if there are changes.” Then make sure that it’s set to deliver to your email address. That way, if we email 20 photos in one day and 2 the next day, you’ll only get one email each day. And if we don’t upload anything, you won’t be bothered at all.
