For those who are new to blogs

I used to send group emails on these topics. Those who move here with me may not have followed a blog before. Here are three suggestions to help you enjoy the shift without hassle.

First, if you want to be notified of my posts, become a WordPress member after you sign up for emails in the right column of the blog, That sign-up obligates  you to absolutely nothing and you can cut WordPress notices to nothing. It’s a one-time process and then it’s done. Of course, you can always just browse.

Second, if you sign up for WordPress, cut the email volume immediately from its default of emailing every time I post as I often post 4-5 a day.  Feel free to change your notification settings to weekly or monthly (not sure if that will give you a digest or just highlights) as even daily may be more than you want. Tap on the Reader icon. Then scroll down to Abycats’ Thoughts, tap Manage, then on the notifications icon on the lower right and select your desired frequency

Finally, the tag list (subject matter list) on the top (more complete list on the right) will Send you directly to what you want to read. Every blog has at least one tag so just tap the words for the area you’re interested in to narrow what you see.

A worthwhile comment from a friend: “Another hint I find useful is this: only follow a few blogs – otherwise reading blogs becomes a chore and not a pleasure.” Truth. Thank you for giving this a try.
