In our efforts to enable our community to stay connected, we’ve implemented email alerts as well as the ability to track posts by RSS.

Now you can keep on top of posts by having updates to the Vega Blog sent directly to your email.  On the side of the page you’ll notice there’s a text box to enter your email address.  After pressing “submit”, you will be sent a confirmation email.  Once you’ve confirmed that you would like to receive updates, that’s all there is to it.  Every time the blog is updated, you’ll be notified.  If there are no updates, you will not be sent an email — it’s as simple as that.

Another way to stay connected is to subscribe to our RSS feed.  What is an RSS feed?  RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication” and it’s basically a way to have frequently updated works sent to you in a standardized format which contains the article headline, summary, and a link back to full-text articles on the web.  To use RSS, you will need a special news reader or aggregator that displays the RSS content.  There are many free programs widely available to view RSS feeds; my personal favorite is Google Reader.

By using email alerts and RSS feed you will be provided with an easy way to be alerted when content appears on our blog.  Now you’ll never miss the contests, polls, or postings that matter most to you!
