Every new essay goes out by email the day it is published, the whole piece with the images, not a teaser and a link. One email per essay. No digest, no news, no algorithm deciding whether you see it.
This is how the web used to work. You chose the writers, they published from their own sites and each piece came straight to you. Nothing in between decided what deserved your attention. You knew where a piece came from. Social feeds replaced that with a ranking and a small grey byline. Email and RSS never changed. Subscribing here is the older arrangement, coming back around.
Prefer a feed reader
The same essays, in full, through RSS or JSON Feed. A reader checks this site for you and shows each new piece the moment it is up. RSS is the best of these: no account, no platform, no algorithm, just a site telling your reader what is new.
Either one works. Most readers also find them on their own if you paste the site address.
New to feeds
Pick a reader, add one of the addresses above and you are done. A few I can vouch for:
- NetNewsWire (free, Mac and iOS)
- Reeder (Mac and iOS)
- Feedbin (web, any device)
- Inoreader (web, any device)
- Feedly (web, any device)
If I revise an essay after it goes out, your reader may show it again. That is the reader doing its job, not a new piece.
