Wanna check a site for updates without going to it and finding out that it hasn’t been updated? Today, I share my 3 top ways on how to stay updated. There are hundreds of ways to do this, but here are the top 3. Here we go…. 
1. RSS Feeds
Really Simple Syndication they call it.You know that Icon that looks like this 
? That’s an RSS Icon, if you see that, it should mean that there is an RSS Feed available. If you have too many RSS feeds like I do, you can abbreviate them (rename) and re-arrange them like this..
If the site doesn’t have an RSS feed, you can always ask the owner to put one up. 
2. Mailing Lists
Not exactly the instant notification option (unlike RSS!), but it works. If you don’t like RSS Feeds for some reason, you can always join the site’s mailing list if they have one. Some sites mail their posts daily, some do it weekly, and some do it monthly; depends on what the site’s about really.
3. Home Tabs
You can set your home page to multiple home pages, and then when you open your browser, there they are! And then you check manually of course.
Q: I have a site and want to add an RSS Feed / Mailing List. How do I do it?
A: You can Google “RSS Feed tutorial” or you can use this one. For mailing lists, I recommend MailPress (for WordPress users), YourMailingListProvider or ListApp.
