Updates

I’m sorry I’ve neglected this for so long, but it’s been busy and I’ve been holding off until I made a few changes to the site which took longer than I wanted.

I know that the majority of my readers know me, and are just reading to get some insight into what’s going on in my life, but I have a lot of other more nerdy things I want to put up on this blog. I also find an incredible amount of interesting news stories and links on a daily basis that I think others may find interesting, so I’ll be posting those here as well. I held off on posting these other ideas and links knowing that most of you aren’t really that interested in reading my other thoughts (Andrea).  So what I’ve decided to do is offer separate sections of my blog.  If you want to continue seeing everything I write about, just keep coming back to danputt.com or subscribing to the main rss feed (for those of you who have no idea what that is, I’ll explain in a minute).  For those of you who just want to see the “personal” posts, then you can either subscribe to the personal rss feed or visit danputt.com/category/personal OR just click the personal tab up top.   For those of you who are currently subscribing by email, I’ve set you up to just receive the personal posts from this site.  If you want to sign up for everything, please signup for a new email subscription in the form on the right of the front page.

For the less technical of you out there, I encourage you to get into this “whole rss thing.”  I’m an obsessive RSS user, utilizing it to check my favorite blogs in a tenth of the time it would take me to visit each site individually, to stay up to date on the news, stay up to date on my friends, even to watch for deals and download TV shows.  I use google reader but you can use myahoo, bloglines, firefox, even Outlook or Internet Explorer. Pretty much any website that updates content regularly (celebrity gossip blogs especially Andrea) offer RSS feeds.  I encourage you to read a little more about it below, and try it out.
