The Music Notes BlogThe Music Notes Blog... lets you know whenever any new Web pages appear at Music for Music Teachers, and tells you if new free guitar, piano, or vocal sheet music has been added. What is RSS? In a nutshell, RSS lets you get all the latest posts sent to you when they're published, rather than having to come back here to see if I've added anything. Just go to your "reader" in Google or Yahoo, and check out the dates and headlines of your favorite feeds, and you'll know if I've added something new. Okay: I'm not very tech-savvy. Well, not at ALL tech-savvy. To me it seems as if every RSS feeder works differently from the one before. Mine seems to work this way: To subscribe to my Music Notes Blog (no e-mail necessary), RIGHT-click on the orange RSS button. Select "Copy Shortcut." Then click on the Google, My Yahoo! button, My MSN button, newsgator, or Bloglines button ---the one on which you prefer to read the blogs you follow. That click should take you to your reader page, and then you can "add" the new feed you have just copied. (Hint: on the Google page, look for a plus sign, and the words "Add a subscription". It's probably similar in the other readers.) Good luck! Let me know if you have any problems!
