The Technical Editing SIG is trying something different for our newsletter and Web site. Instead of waiting for a monthly or quarterly distribution, we are posting news items to our blog on our new Web site as we receive them. If you’re a member of the SIG, you’ll be receiving a regular electronic newsletter that provides a rollup of all the articles. But if you want to read the articles as they are posted, all you have to do is subscribe to the RSS feed of the SIG’s blog.

If you’re not familiar with RSS feeds, they are quite easy to use. A feed is a method of syndicating content so users can subscribe to it. These days, there are dozens of available subscription tools and aggregators that make it easy to gather your RSS subscriptions in one place. This is particularly handy if you read more than one blog or listen to more than one podcast.

How do you subscribe to the SIG feed? We created a Subscribe tab at the top of every page so you can see your options. If you don’t use a feed reader or aggregator, you can choose to subscribe via e-mail. If you choose the e-mail subscription, you’ll get a notification within a day after an article is posted.

If you do use a reader, you can use any of the links we provide on the subscription page, or you can manually enter the feed address (http://feeds.feedburner.com/STCTechEdit).

I hope you enjoy our new newsletter and Web format. Happy reading!
