How to read (or subscribe to) the Impact blog

There are several ways to read this blog.  You can:

1. Come to the blog's web site and read it.
2. Have new blog posts appear in your RSS reader.
3. Have new blog posts delivered to you in email.

The second and third options send new blog posts to you, so you do not have to remember to come and check the blog's web site.  For many people, having blog posts delivered to them has been the key to keeping up with "what's new."

If you are using an RSS reader (often called a blog reader or aggregator), then you can add the this blog to your reader.  Popular RSS readers include Bloglines and Google Reader, although there are many, many more (and many are free).  Each will have a way to add or subscribe to a specific blog.  Generally, they will ask for the blog's URL or the URL for the blog's feed (http://sla-divisions.typepad.com/sla_lmd/atom.xml).

There are many ways to receive the blog posts in email.  One utility that I use (and it's free) is FeedBlitz.com.  If you look at the bottom of the page, you can see a place to type in this blog's URL and subscribe to the feed. Notice that you can receive the feed in email as well as through some instant messenger (IM) services (headline & URL only).

Of course, you can experiment!  Try subscribing to this blog in several ways and then decide which one really works for you.  If you are unfamiliar with RSS readers, etc., that could be a great way of becoming familiar.
