My URL Will Give You Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Seriously, what was I thinking when I chose the URL www.deliberatelyunintentional.blogpsot.com? I type fast and accurately and I still get tripped up. It's an obscene amount of characters to type just to see if there is any new content to read.

If you read my stories or look at my photos more than once a year, try subscribing by RSS (Real Simple Syndication); you'll never have to type that obnoxious URL again. If you're not familiar with RSS, it's really, well, for lack of a better word, simple.

In Internet Explorer (MSN), RSS Feeds are bookmarked just like Favorite Web sites. You simply click on the feed title to see if any new content has been posted. If not, you click away to be entertained somewhere else on the Web. There are plenty of other RSS readers to follow your favorite Web sites, including Outlook. Even if you don't subscribe to Deliberately Unintentional, I highly recommend using RSS to manage the information you want to digest online. New content is sent to you in an unobtrusive manner and, if you follow sites with horribly long URLs like mine, you just may save yourself a trip to the physical therapist.

Click on "Subscribe by RSS" at the top of the page and never type my blog's URL again.

Subscribe to DU's RSS Feed and Receive Updated Content Once Every Five Months!

Wow! Five months since my last blog post? Ouch. If anyone still checks for new content, please leave a comment or let me know I'm a lazy bum via email.

I recently watched that Julie and Julia flick about the wannabe writer/chef and her undying love for Julia Childs. If you haven't seen it, it's an enjoyable movie. New Yorkers will like it. Anyway, the writer/chef character blogs about her efforts to cook every recipe in Child's book in one year. When she first starts posting blog entries she doubts anyone is "out there" reading her stuff. So if anyone still stops by, let me hear from you. Or if you landed on this page because of one of my tags, call me a jerk and then read an old post.

For you stubborn readers, subscribe to my RSS Feed; it'll save you the time of typing my cumbersome URL just to find out I haven't figured out how to beam thoughts from my brain to my blog yet. I still need to find the time to sit down and type them out.
