Getting More From Graphics Unleashed Blog Posts

I got a message from a very loyal reader a few days ago who was very interested in something covered in one of my blog posts and this user couldn't figure out how to get it. Today I'm going to give you a brief tutorial on how to get the most out of each blog post.

I highly recommend that you subscribe to the blog via e-mail. There is absolutely no cost to do so and all you have to do is provide the e-mail address where you want to receive the e-mails. When you do this, you'll receive an e-mail asking you to click a link to confirm that you want to receive the blog e-mails. To get the process started, just click on the graphic at left. When you subscribe, you'll get no more than one e-mail each day. The e-mail will contains all posts from the previous 24 hours. Instead of having to visit the Web site every day to read new posts, you simply have to look at the e-mail. If you don't find a particular day's post of interest, just delete the e-mail. Some users archive the e-mails containing their favorite posts.

For those who subscribe via e-mail, you'll find it looks something like the graphic below:

The only difference between this graphic and the one in the e-mail is that I have put big red circles around each of the clickable links. Some users don't recognize they are links because they are not underlined. They are in blue so they can be easily seen. Because the e-mails come from Feedburner, I don't have any control over the formatting. Just know that if you see blue text, you can click on it. You can also click on the post title (the very top of the graphic) and it will take you to the full post on the Web site.

You can also view each post on the Web site as shown below:

I do have control over the formatting of the posts on the Web site and you'll find each of the clickable links is in red text so that it really stands out from the black text that isn't clickable. Again, I've circled each of the clickable links in the post. You'll also find that I've added three arrows. At the far left is a count of the number of times the blog post has been tweeted. I do my best to tweet every post on my account. Click on the graphic and you can tweet the post on your account. On the far right is a similar graphic for sharing a post on Facebook. If you find a post useful, I would certainly appreciate it if you could click on the Twitter or Facebook graphics and tell your followers or friends about it. The arrow in the middle points to the link where you can leave a comment on a post. I will frequently ask for feedback and this is how your feedback can be seen by everyone. Maybe you have something to add to what I say. Or you could disagree with my post. I welcome your comments! Some users simply e-mail me and that means I'm the only one who sees your comment. It is much better to post it on the blog so everyone can benefit from what you have to say.

Thanks for reading and I hope this helps you get even more from every post on the Graphics Unleashed Blog!
