Bob Drew …it’s not terribly difficult. I use a “Feed Reader” called Feedly. It’s free to use, although there is a paid option. Feedly offers apps for phones and tablets as well, which will all sycnchronize These instructions apply to the desktop (PC / Mac) version: * Set up an account at feedly.com. When your account is ready, you’ll see an “add content” button in the top left corner. Click it. * Type in or paste the URL of this site (www.theinquiry.ca/wordpress). * Two results will come up. One is for the posts to the site (which Sylvia makes); another is for comments on posts (made by anyone). You can add those to your Feedly feed. Once you have done this, new posts and comments will be fed to your Feedly page each time there’s something new. You can read them there and mark them as read afterwards, or click through to the actual post. You can do this with almost all websites. It’s a great way of getting through lots of information in a short time.Meta
