Technology is suppose to enrich our faith, not take us away from it.
Here’s a short primer on what rss/subscriptions are – something i personally use to save time and stay on top of things. ![]()
When you see an icon like this show up in a web page or at the top of your browser address bar – it means you can ‘subscribe’ to the site. It’s also sometimes linked or referred to as an RSS feed. With this, I rarely visit individual websites. By clicking on it, you can ‘subscribe’ to everything new that shows up on that web site, and it gets aggregated into a ‘reader’. I recommend google reader
Google reader collects all the sites that i’m subscribed to and brings it together into the one site that I visit. This way I don’t need to continually check or visit multiple sites for new content, I simply go to my reader application.
ie. If you want to subscribe to this mosaic blog, you can click on the orange icon up at the top, or you can click this ‘link‘. Make sure you’ve already signed up for a reader or register yourself for one afterwards at http://google.com/reader
You can subscribe to my blog here, and thousands of other blog and news sites around the world this way.
That’s your faith/tech update for the week. Hope it helps.
