New RSS feed and e-mail subscription

Paul Scott Anderson — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 16:01:10 -0700

Just a reminder about the new RSS feed and email subscription for the updated blog The Meridiani Journal which replace the previous ones for the former Planetaria:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/themeridianijournal

Email subscriptions are now done through the new blogging host, WordPress, instead of FeedBurner. Just click on "subscribe" under "email subscriptions" in the right-hand column of the blog:

http://themeridianijournal.com

This current RSS feed and email subscription will be discontinued soon, so please make the easy (and free) switch to the new ones to keep getting updates from TMJ. Thanks!
