When reading a blog, you have lots of options. In fact, it’s kind of ridiculous how many different places you can “subscribe” or read my blog and posts! Social media sites have only added to that, and I’m afraid many are becoming confused….and a touch annoyed. I love all of the support I’ve been shown by my readers and I hope that offering multiple ways to follow my posts only adds to your experience here.

Ways to Subscribe to a Blog
Really Simple Syndication or RSS, is a great way to subscribe to blogs, especially if you read many of them on a daily or weekly basis. In simple terms it’s this – my blog has a special RSS Feed attached to it so that all of my posts can be read on another site called a feed reader. I personally like to use Google Reader, though there are many other options out there as well. Once you have a Google reader account, you simply click that funny little dot and curved lines button and you will see each of my new posts (and can read them there!) any time I update the blog. You’ll basically see an entire list of new posts titles from each of the blogs you subscribe to and can choose to read them if they sound interesting. To comment on a post you’ll need to click the title of the post and be directed to the blog.
By subscribing via RSS, you will receive updated posts to your reader each time I write a new article – about 3-4 times per week -and you’ll see them shortly after the article is published. Blog posts include recipes, natural fertility tips, and natural health articles. I blog about my life and relevant information but do not include posts on my children and/or pregnancies should we be so blessed again.
When you subscribe by e-mail updates, you’ll receive a new e-mail each day I post something new on the blog. You’ll see the full article in your inbox to read at your leisure. To comment on a post, you’ll have to come to the blog to do so.
E-mail updates are sent 3-4 times per week and only sent in the morning after I’ve posted a new article. Blog posts include recipes, natural fertility tips, and natural health articles. I blog about my life and relevant information but do not include posts on my children and/or pregnancies should we be so blessed again.
The weekly newsletter, is also sent to your e-mail for you to read, but with a few differences compared to the daily e-mail updates. You’ll only receive one e-mail per week each Friday and it will contain the post titles from the week as well as a short intro to each article. To read the full article you’ll need to click the “read more” link after each one. (this way the e-mails aren’t a mile long) When I get a chance I may also add in extra little tidbits from time to time (recipes, how-to’s, ect).
You’ll receive just one e-mail per week and you can sign up using the form below. Blog posts include recipes, natural fertility tips, and natural health articles. I blog about my life and relevant information but do not include posts on my children and/or pregnancies should we be so blessed again.
You can “Like” the blog on Facebook as well and you’ll see any new posts in your news feed should you happen to catch them. You’ll also be able go to the Naturally Knocked Up page anytime you’re on Facebook to check for something new. I like Facebook as a way to interact with readers and I often post different recipes I’m trying out before they hit the blog, as well as random thoughts, questions, and pictures from my daily life. You’ll see links posted to new articles when they’re published but will be taken to the blog to read them.
When you subscribe via facebook you can expect up to 3 posts per day in your feed. Most of the time it’s less than this, but you shouldn’t ever see more. Updates include recipes, natural fertility tips, and natural health articles. I update about my life and relevant information but do not include posts on my children and/or pregnancies should we be so blessed again.
Twitter often times seems like this giant expanse of space with everyone randomly talking. Well, I guess it doesn’t so much ‘seem’ this way as much as it is actually this way. I’m on twitter for networking and socializing {many times when I should be writing and get stuck I chat with my friends on twitter} I chat about everything there; random thoughts, pictures, questions, etc, etc. I also post links to new articles on the blog and when you click on them you’ll be taken to the blog to read them.
Following me on twitter you can expect anywhere from one to 20+ posts per day. {depending on how much of a writer’s block I have} I post information about every aspect of my life so depending on what I’m going through and what season of life I’m in – it’s what you’ll see, including information on natural childrearing/pregnancy. etc.
And finally, you can now read Naturally Knocked Up on your Kindle should you have one! I believe the monthly subscription rate set by Amazon’s Kindle store is $1.99 and you’ll receive all posted articles as they are published.
I hope this clears up any confusion you may have about subscribing to the blog and that you can find something that works for you. Your subscriptions actually help support this blog as advertisers and companies love to see cold hard numbers. Just make sure to do it in a way that doesn’t cause me to become bothersome. And as always, you can always unsubscribe at any time or condense how you allow me to communicate with you (instead of multiple subscriptions) and I’ll totally understand.

@monique, Monique, I’m so very sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you. As hard as it is, at some point you’ll have to let people know. Just do it when it comes naturally. So sorry friend.
