<p>What a reminder this is that a person can learn a lot by paying
attention to postings in listservs.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Rebecca reminds all of us that there are a dozen ways that an RSS
reader (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS">Wikipedia
article</a>) is far better than Twitter (X) as a way to follow
somebody's postings. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So for example anybody who wants to follow The TTABlog ought to
simply add <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://thettablog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default">"https://thettablog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default"</a>
to one's RSS news feed. If you do this, you end up with a very
high quality "feed" that only serves up what you want, and that
avoids the cesspool that is Twitter (X).<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Rebecca probably added John's feed URL to her RSS reader a long
time ago. Only just now, prompted by Rebecca's posting, did I
think to add John's feed URL to my RSS reader.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Only just now, prompted by Rebecca's posting, did I add an RSS
icon and link to my own blog. You can see it here. I ought to
have done this long ago, but I only thought to do it now, thanks
to Rebecca.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>John, I don't see an RSS icon and link on your blog. It would be
a good idea to add it.<br>

FWIW: I now have automatic crossposting from my blog to
Mastodon, Bluesky, an email subscription via Mailchimp (free
account because I don't have that many email subscribers), RSS
