How to Read this Blog?

This blog is updated rapidly, atleast once in a day.

I publish these posts from various sources like mailing lists, mail that come to me, some job sites, forwarded by my friends etc.

WordPress always shows the latest 10 posts in the front page. To see the older posts, you have to click the “Next Page” in the bottom of the pages.

But, it is very tedious to read the posts continuously in browser, as we can not get the latest and older posts separately.

Here is the remedy.

1. Use the RSS feeds.

***********
“RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a “feed,” “web feed,” or “channel,” contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that’s easier than checking them manually.

RSS content can be read using software called an “RSS reader,” “feed reader” or an “aggregator.” The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed’s link into the
reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user’s subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds. “
