In conjunction with creating this BLOG, I have added an email update feature from FEEDBlitz and an Atom/RSS feed from FeedBurner so that people can subscribe to receive updates from the BLOG.
I will keep updating the BLOG as I make changes to my various Web Pages and as signifigant things happen with them.
The major benefit I hope to get is more traffic to the various sites. Currently people either had to check the individual sites or the Newsletter to know if I had made changes. This way they can be notified.
I also listed a group of links at del.icio.us that includes links to my various pages.
This is how del.icio.us describe their service:
"What is del.icio.us?
del.icio.us is a collection of favorites - yours and everyone else's. Use del.icio.us to:
Keep links to your favorite articles, blogs, music, restaurant reviews, and more on del.icio.us and access them from any computer on the web.
Share favorites with friends, family, and colleagues.
Discover new things. Everything on del.icio.us is someone's favorite - they've already done the work of finding it. Explore and enjoy.
Where do I start?
Anyone can browse del.icio.us and see what others find interesting."
Essentially by keeping my list of pages there I allow more people to know about them and access them.
Within hours of listing pages, I was getting hits on my counters showing people coming from the del.icio.us. I am in the process of adding an RSS feed from that service too.
