Subscribe to Boffo Socko

My goal is to help you receive the information you want from this website in the manner and form you prefer. If you have any questions or specific needs, please don’t hesitate to send me an email to assist you in consuming my content in any form with which you feel most comfortable.

One can use one or more (or even all!) of the following services:

Email

Want to get all the major updates (primarily just articles and an occasional time-sensitive status update) that appear here on BoffoSocko delivered to you immediately by email? Fill in your email address below and click the “Sock it to Me!” button.

Email Newsletter

Prefer to catch up on a less frequent basis? Use the subscription form in the sidebar or the one below to subscribe to our newsletter(s) instead.

Articles and broad category subjects will be delivered monthly, and will contain a quick synopsis of our content since the last newsletter with headlines so you can pick and choose what you’d like to read without being left behind.

If you prefer the options for everything, the status updates, the link blog, or portions of the social stream, those will be delivered in a weekly newsletter, so readers will get as much as possible without missing out on anything significant.

The newsletter sign up has an option for daily updates, but this is a beta option at the moment only for those who are interested in a daily update for the firehose feed of everything on the website. To try this option change your settings to “all topics” “entire stream” and “daily”.

RSS

The quickest way to follow me is to use the button below and choose your favorite reader service to subscribe.

Putting my website URL https://boffosocko.com into the subscription boxes of most feed readers will automatically discover a relatively long list of feed types and categories one can choose from. Feel free to subscribe to as many types and categories as you’d like.

If you use RSS and want to know how to subscribe to a specific feed type or particular category/tag type (example: you only want posts about mathematics, but not the photos of food), please contact me and let me know. In some cases, the templates for the feed links of some of the most commonly requested feeds below will serve as a guide to allow you to “build” a custom RSS feed of your choosing.

The following links provide the RSS feeds for each of the individual types of content. Choose the ones in which you’re interested.

If you’re interested in subscribing to multiple kinds of posts in one feed, follow the example of the Food Diary feed which concatenates the eat and drink feeds by stringing their kind names together with commas.

Social Media

You can also follow me in various areas of social media if you prefer, but be aware that not all posts are syndicated to all sites. Due to a variety of algorithms on each social site, be aware you’re also not guaranteed to receive any of my content, including the content you’re most interested in receiving.

Some of my social accounts are listed on this page, but a comprehensive list of everything can be found on my Social Media Accounts and Links page. If it’s not on this list, beware that it may not be me or be a spam account purporting to be me—feel free to contact me to verify if you’re unsure.

Fediverse

I’m using some experimental technology to make my website appear as an instance in the Fediverse, so if you’d like to follow me on services like Mastodon, you can search for and follow me at @chrisaldrich from your client. The programming behind this mirroring is slowly improving so that posts here look increasingly more native within those Fediverse related clients.
