To subscribe to this blog, click here and you’ll be taken to a page giving you exactly the options you need:

Also feel free to subscribe to these other newsfeeds which are aggregated and syndicated through Google Reader especially for you:

• PRs proclaim - is a feed I built in Google Reader from the PR blogs on my blogroll, so it represents a good overview of quality PR blogging output
• Copywriters cry - the same, but for copywriting blogs and news searches
• Tecchies twitter - guess
• Podcasts plug – now you’re getting it
• Brendan bungs – is my shared items from Google Reader and comprises items I think are worth reading
• Officially – is slightly different, being aggregated news items from Yahoo News and Google News covering PR, journalism, copwriting and tech. I don’t target specific blogs here, it’s all from news crawlers.
• Unofficially – as above but aggregated from Google Blog Search, Digg, WordPress Tag Search, Blogcatalog, Bloglines, NewPR and Blogpulse – and therefore representing a largely ‘unofficial’ source of news being mostly from blog reactions

But what is all this subscription nonsense anyway?

Most blogs generate a feed containing the latest updates. So, when the blogger adds content, the feed sends – syndicates – that content out. You can subscribe to that feed and receive the content at your end. It’s that simple. This is why the feed is called an RSS feed: RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.

To subscribe, you just need an RSS reader. Friendly Ghost uses Google Reader because it’s cool, it’s free, you don’t need to install anything and you can use it wherever you are. You can also do all sorts of clever stuff with it, such as create your own feeds that you aggregate from other feeds. That’s what the links and feeds are all about to the right hand side of FG’s blog. They take a lot of feeds and syndicate them out as one feed each for copywriting, PR, journalism and tech.

RSS changes the way you use the web. Instead of you going out to find the news, the news comes to you.
