Some New Site Features
Dr. Lowery’s site has been rolling now about nine months. To make the content easier to use and to help promote the site, we’ve added some new or enhanced features:
Subscriptions: In the sidebar at the right, you’ll see a “Subscribe” heading just below the Search box. While the site has always offered a standard RSS feed, you can now subscribe by e-mail. This feature will send you new content when it’s posted on the blog. This doesn’t replace the “notification e-mail” on the Contact page; rather, it’s an additional way for you to get your rlowery.com content.
At the bottom of each post, you may see some Technorati tags. Technorati is a blog-tracking service. This allows us to promote the site and enables users to search through other Technorati-tracked blogs with similar content.
At the bottom of each post, you will see four new links:
Email this: An easy way to send someone a link to the current post.
Save to del.icio.us: del.icio.us is a “social bookmarking utility.” If you have a free del.icio.us account, you can save your bookmarked web sites/content online and see who else has bookmarked it as well. This is a great way to discover new content.
Digg This: Digg is a news-sharing site. If you’re a Digg member (it’s free), you can submit news items that you find interesting. Digg an article that you think others should read–again, this helps us promote the site.
Share on Facebook: If you’re in college, you’re on Facebook. If you’re not in college, you could join Facebook (it’s also free). This link enables you to add a post from this site to your Facebook profile.
We hope you’ll find these tools useful. If you have thoughts or suggestions, you’re welcome to post them as comments.
