Blog Renovation

After 320 posts I decided I needed to update the look and feel of my blog.  

Click HERE to continue reading this on MJR version 2.0.

I'm not sure if very many people actually go to the page - it seems like most of my readers (the few I have :) are subscribers, followers or rss-ers and everyone uses a blog reader these days don't they?

Anyway, just in case there are a few old-schoolers out there, I gave the old girl a fresh coat of paint and a little clean-up.  I have also moved to a three-column format - which was one of the harder computer skillz I've had to develop...  The best part was creating a new logo - which I did over the last few weeks...

With all that hard work behind me, (just kidding - it's not too difficult...), I want to remind everyone of the best ways to make following my blog easy-peasy...

#1.  Become a "Follower" - negative connotation in life, positive connotation in the blogosphere...  at least I hope it's positive because I follow dozens of blogs.  Click through to my page and use the "Followers" widget at the top of the left column.

#2.  Subscribe for e-mail updates - you'll get my blog posts in your email inbox - simple as that. Enter your address in the box at the top of the right column.  Verify, once you get the email from feedburner.

#3.  Subscribe in a reader - if you use google reader (and I recommend that you do...) it is easiest to become a "Follower" - one click and you are subscribed.  If not, enter my address www.meyrickjonesracing.com into your reader's subscription box.

 

If you haven't checked out Twitter yet you might as well have a look at my newly renovated Twitter page.  (... kind of like renovating the cabin at the same time as the city house.)  

Check it out and "follow" me by going HERE. 

Sorry for the boring post...  I do these every six months or so to help anyone who might be new to blogging or blog reading.  Remember when you used to visit each site individually???  Now THAT was time consuming!!!

Cheers and thanks for reading everyone!

Followers/Subscribers/Readers

Firstly, I'd like to thank all of you for stopping by to read the things I publish on Meyrick Jones Racing.  

Hopefully you enjoy the topics, the writing and the photos.  I certainly enjoy publishing them here and really value the many great friendships and opportunities that have sprouted from this blog.  Lately more people are using the 'comments' area after each post to communicate with me and with others - I really value the feedback and enjoy the interactions that take place this way.

I want to introduce a couple of ways to "Follow" or "Subscribe" to this blog....  these are designed by Google (and Feedburner) to make it easier to keep track of the blogs you enjoy.

Here they are:

1.  Become a "Follower" - Don't worry I am sure you are more of a "Leader" in life...  I just added the "Followers" chart on the right and have been pleasantly surprised to find a few people signing up.  It is really nice for me to "see" some of my readers and for them to get my posts!

2.  Subscribe by Email - This is a service that Feedburner provides.  If you find checking the site for updates laborious (and unsatisfying when there is nothing new) maybe you would rather receive updates automatically in your e-mail.  You will never miss another post and you will only need to come to the site to see the slideshow or make a comment!  E-mail addresses are kept private of course.

3.  Subscribe in a Reader - If you use a "reader" like Google Reader to keep track of your favourite blogs you can add mine by clicking the logo near the top of the right hand column.  This is another great way to keep track of more than one blog without having to search for new posts.

These tools will make your blog reading more efficient and enjoyable.  They are easy to figure out and can be found at the top of the right-hand column of my blog.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
