I was recently asked if I provided feeds to my blog. I realized it’s not really displayed that I have a feed available for the blog. Since I use wordpress for my blog (running on a windows hosting account at AppliedI.net) it’s really quite easy to subscribe.

When you access the site in firefox you’ll see a little RSS icon in the addressbar like this:

Subscribing to my wordpress blog via IE7
To subscribe to the blog access the blog in IE7, the browser bar you’ll see a little RSS icon:
Clicking on this ICON will display the feed. You’ll then be able to subscribe to the feed by clicking on the little star with the plus sign on it as shown below:
Clicking on that icon will subscribe you to the feed.
