Subscription Options
News articles and discussions on The Daily Cartoonists can be delivered to you freely in three different ways. Below are the three ways and instructions on how to take advantage of them. They are:
RSS Feeds
RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication.” Essentially, subscribing to a RSS feed delivers the headlines and a description of the story to your RSS reader (or email inbox) anytime this blog has been updated. You don’t have to try remember to visit the site, the web address or search your bookmarks. Simply open your RSS reader let the news come to you.
- Learn more about RSS
- Download an RSS Reader. I highly recommend NetNewsWire for the Mac, and Feed Demon for Windows. If your running Linux, you can probably figure build your own reader in Perl.
There are also online readers. I like Google Reader
To subscribe to a TDC RSS feed, download a reader. Click on the first RSS icon below. If you signed up for a web-based reader, find the icon that matches the service provider you’re using.
Receiving the daily email digest
You can sign up to receive a daily digest email of the news that was posted in the last 24 hours. Each email is delivered around noon (MST) each day. It has that morning’s news as well as any news that was posted the previous afternoon. If you want to stay more up-to-date, consider subscribing to the RSS feed.
Note: We are working to restore the daily digest email. We will make an announcement when it’s ready.
Following TDC via Twitter
Twitter is a “micro-blogging” service that allows users to send out small messages (less than 140 characters) to those that follow their “tweets.” The Daily Cartoonist uses its Twitter account to broadcast the headlines soon after their posted, but is often contains my musings on the cartooning industry as well as back channel announcements of things I’m doing or learning.
To follow my “tweets,” go sign up for an account at Twitter and then click on my url and click on the follow link.
