Subscribe to LeaderTalk

There are several ways to subscribe to LeaderTalk, including registering to receive new posts in your e-mail inbox or using a RSS aggregator. Each of these options is described below.

Receiving LeaderTalk in your e-mail inbox

Using a RSS aggregator

If you don't want to further clog your e-mail inbox with blog posts, RSS aggregators can be great ways to subscribe to one or more blog/news feeds. RSS aggregators work like your e-mail software except that they collect posts from blogs or news web sites rather than e-mails. Here are links to three popular Web-based aggregators (along with tutorials on how to get started):

• Bloglines (also see tutorial)
• Google Reader (also see tutorial)
• Netvibes (also see tutorial)

Once you've set up your account, simply enter the LeaderTalk feed into the software:

• http://feeds.feedburner.com/leadertalk

If you've never used a RSS aggregator before, we highly encourage you to try one. There are a wealth of great blog and news feeds out there, including ones from

• NAESP,
• NASSP,
• NSBA,
• NASBE,
• Education Week,
• The Quick and the Ed,
• Eduwonk,
• The Pulse, and
• Edutopia.

Create your own personal learning network by having your information come to you instead of having to hunt it down!

In Google Reader, at least, I'm not getting the name of each post's author, which makes a group blog kind of unreadable.

Thanks for letting us know, Tom. I'll see if there's anything we can do on that front...

FYI, it's true in NetNewsWire as well.

I heard back from TypePad. The only way to fix this is to convert the blog into an Advanced Template. Since I'm not really a programmer, I'm not sure I'm quite ready to do this. I'll play around with a dummy blog for a while and see what I gain/lose by changing over. Thanks again to everyone for pointing this out as an issue...

Greetings,
I am having difficulty receiving the feed using Thunderbird. It tells me that the feed above is not a valid feed. Any suggestions?

Is there a feed for the comments, as well? I know you can do that in blogger.
