If you’re a regular user of the Troop 160 website, you’ll have observed that posts appear fairly irregularly, depending on what we’re doing. And you may have wished that there was some way you could automatically find out if there’s anything new.
Well, it turns out that there is. The front page of the Troop 160 website (called “Blog”) has a built-in feed for Really Simple Syndication (RSS). You may have seen the little RSS icon (like this: 
) on the right sidebar of the front page, or possibly in the address box of your browser.
And it Really is Simple. Just click on the icon — or here — and you’ll be able to subscribe to feeds from the site. From then on, you’ll have an icon for Troop 160 in your browser’s shortcut bar — just click on that and you’ll see a list of the most recent Troop 160 blog posts. If something looks new or interesting, just select it to see it.
One thing to note is that the RSS feed only covers the Blog, not the other pages on the site. But when something new appears on the other pages there’s usually a Blog entry anyway.
(For those of you who are Scouts, pros, or enthusiastic amateurs — yes, of course you can use whatever RSS reader you like. But you knew that anyway.)
