One of the things that I have tried to keep in mind throughout this whole project is that the term “podcast” might not be familiar to everyone and that most people will not know what “RSS” is or the readers that serve as a home for the RSS feeds. In an effort to make this website accessible to everyone, I’ve set up an “about blogs & podcasts” page and set up easy ways to subscribe to this site’s RSS feed (via RSS and email notifications) so you, the reader, can enjoy automatic updates without having to check the site daily.
These are all confusing terms and are not the easiest of technologies to wrap your head around. BUT, there is now a video that makes these concepts much more understandable! Common Craft has created a fantastic, entertaining, educational, and short video that explains what RSS feeds are, how they work, and why you should use them. Watch the video here. (And feel free to email questions)
After you’ve watched the video and are convinced that a (RSS) reader is the way you would like to get updates about news and new blog posts, don’t forget to subscribe to this blog’s RSS feed. Also, stay informed about anthropology on the internet via blogs with your new RSS reader (After you have your reader, click on the xml button on the top right hand corner of the boxes on this page for any of the blogs that you want to “subscribe” to). There will be year-round updates on this website about the progress of the project for next year and updates about how to participate! Just think of how easy it would be to learn update these updates and opportunities if you did not have to check the website everyday.
