Subscribing to the Zuken Blog is simple and the easiest way to ensure you receive an alert each time a new post is released.

Subscription options - RSS, Email, TwitterThere are currently 3 ways to subscribe to the Zuken Blog.

Email – Delivered straight to your Inbox

Subscribe via EmailThe simplest and most straight forward of all the options.

Selecting to subscribe via email will ensure you will receive just an email on the day a post is released.

  1. Select the Email icon option from the left side menu.

RSS Feed – Via your RSS Reader

Subscribe via the RSS FeedSubscribing to the RSS Feed will also require you to read the resulting feed with an RSS Reader. One of the many benefits to RSS subscription is that feed will be collated for you in one location, away from your busy email Inbox.

But you will NOT receive any notification, via email, when a new post is released. It is reliant on you visiting your RSS Reader to review the posts from the Zuken blog.

There are many Readers available and more information can be found within the RSS section on the main Zuken website.

- My preference would be Google Reader.

  1. Select the RSS Feed icon either from the left hand menu or the ‘Subscribe’ link at top right of each page.
  2. This will transfer you to a page within Feedburner that will allow you to select your preferred Reader - or you can still change your mind and select to receive via email at this point.
    RSS Feed Subscription - Select your preferred Reader
  3. Select ‘Google’ (or your preference) and follow the instructions.

Twitter – @ZukenBlog

Subscribe via TwitterTwitter is a website, owned and operated by Twitter Inc., which enables its users to send and read other users’ messages called tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters.   Tweets are publicly visible by default, however senders can restrict message delivery to their friends list.

Subscribing via Twitter is a good idea for those already using the service and wanting to just receive the headlines and links to each post within the Zuken Blog.

The Zuken Blog has its own Twitter account, ‘tweeting’ each time a new post is released.
- To subscribe via Twitter, you will need have / create your own Twitter account.

  1. Create your Twitter account at: http://www.twitter.com
  2. Either search for Twitter user ‘ZukenBlog‘ within Twitter and select to follow, or simply select the Twitter icon from within the Zuken Blog.
