How To

I enjoy all forms of blogging. GreenTaxi allows me to educate others, a passion of mine as I believe education is a longer term solution to many of the worlds problems.  Let me help you now by explaining how to track GreenTaxi.

If you do not want to learn about RSS and want all articles sent to your email, sign up for an email subscription here.

RSS

The easiest way to stay up to date with Green Taxi is to subscribe to an RSS feed of some sort.  An RSS feed, simply put, is a way of updating you that there is a new article, or “blog”, posted on the GreenTaxi.com website.  It will provide you the header or whole article in a non-greentaxi format if you choose (Feedburner is the best for this).  This image to the right is the universal image for an RSS feed.

To subscribe to an RSS feed, you need to find a way to read the feeds.  I suggest using Google Reader or iGoogle.

Let me give you a step-by-step example. 

  1. First of all, as a personal preference, I use feedburner feeds for most of my feeds (this is a quite popular service, I suggest you do as well).  You do not have to do anything for this, I am just explaining what feeds I use (you can also use an XML feed).
  2. I use a Google homepage as my RSS Reader.  So, go to http://www.google.com/ig, which is your personal Google page (sign up for an account if you do not have one). 
  3. Set this page as your default home page (Internet Explorer -> Tools Menu -> Internet Options -> Select the “Use Current” button under Home Page). 
  4. Next, select the “Add Stuff” link in the top right of that google homepage. 
  5. On the left side of the next page, press the “Add RSS feed” button.  In this pop-up box, paste http://feeds.feedburner.com/GreenTaxi and press Add. 
  6. Go back to your Google homepage and there should be an RSS feed of GreenTaxi on the front page. 
  7. You can then add feeds to other blogs through that same Add Stuff->Add RSS feed process.
