Tony vs. Paul

HT: Evangelical Outpost

The first take on the Gospel Coalition website went live today. I was able to attend much of the conference (in May) and greatly appreciated it. Right now they have video and audio up from some of the plenary sessions (Tim Keller, DA Carson, John Piper). Also the founding documents, which deserve a close read. (You can tell that much thought went in to these).

(Update: It’s the end of the day and I still find this extremely funny and oddly apt.)

I currently follow 140+ blogs, by which I mean that I am aware when these blogs have new content and I decide whether that new content is something I want to read or skip. Following that many blogs would be impossible the traditional way, which is to go to the website for each blog and check for any new content since your last visit. Enter: the more up-to-date way of following blogs: subscribing to blog feeds (sometimes called rss feeds) and then checking for updates to those feeds in one consolidated place, a feed reader. If you are interested in following the blogosphere, this really is a must way of doing things. And it’s also a gigantic time-saver. If you’ve never done this, consider watching this very helpful and simple how-to video, which will help you get started.

One additional note: if you decide to end up using Google Reader as your feed subscription reader, you can use Google’s subscribe bookmark to subscribe to any blog you are currently visiting. Simply drag the link below to your bookmark toolbar (this works in Firefox, I don’t know about other browsers, although it should work in others). This will create a “Subscribe” button on your toolbar. Then, when you are visiting a blog and decide you want to subscribe to it in Google Reader (make sure you have already signed up for a Google reader account before you do all of this), you simply click the “Subscribe” button on the toolbar.

Here’s the link you can drag to your toolbar:

Subscribe…

Five seconds of high drama.
