Step in to RSS with Idaho Rocks!

One of the cool things about Blogs are that they are a very versatile medium for getting a message across. The publisher of a blog can use elements such as audio, video, pictures, and text. Furthermore, the publisher of the blog can offer subscriptions to its readers in a few
different formats. The most popular formats of course are email & RSS (Real Simple Syndication). The majority of people who read this blog receive updates because they belong to the Idaho-Rocks Google Group. If you belong to this group, every time you receive an update from us, you get it in the form of an email from idaho-rocks@googlegroups.com .

This is about to change. In another week or two, you will no longer receive updates from this address. This does NOT mean that we are stopping the blog. Oh no. Quite the contrary my friend. We are planning on bringing you hard hitting, eye opening coverage of local and national events topped by no other Blog or mainstream media site on the internet! That is why you too must upgrade and start getting our subscription through an RSS Reader, or via email by signing up on the blog: http://www.idrocks.com OR http://idahorocks.blogspot.com - If I were you, I would sign up via an RSS Reader AND via email, just to make sure you don't miss anything.

Many of you who read our blog are savvy enough to know about these concepts, but this is new to a lot of you. You are just getting used to the concepts of email, let along blogs, and RSS. Don't fear though. You can read more about RSS by visiting this Wikipedia Entry. Once you have read about RSS, check in to getting yourself a FREE web based RSS Reader from Google or someone else.

To sign up using Google or Yahoo, just create an account on one of their sites. Then just click on the "add to Google" or "add to Yahoo" button on our site and BLAMO! You are using RSS & getting all the sweet stuff from Ben (The Law) Lawellin & Bryan (Bgood) Wilson.

If you would prefer to receive updates via email, just visit our site (links listed above) and enter your email in the email subscription box.

Well, there you have it! Welcome to the new age of communicating via the internet! We are so happy you have chosen our site as the number one site for... For... Well, for really cool stuff that you can't find anywhere else guaranteed! If you can find any other site that offers the same thing we do, please email us so we can promptly refund your money.

Best Wishes,

The Idaho Rocks Staff
