How to subscribe
If you do not intend to visit this site every single day 
but still want to be aware of what I am writing about, the easiest solution is to subscribe to our updates. You can do that in two ways.
1. By subscribing to our daily digests
One simple option is to put your email address into the “Subscribe via email” field on the top of every page (or alternatively you can just click here). Then, you will receive an email with link inside asking you to activate the subscription. If you decide to activate it by clicking on the link, you are going to receive a daily digest of the recent NEQNET posts directly into your Inbox until you deactivate the subscription (the link for unsubscirbing is present in every single email) .
Please be advised that I will never use your email address, neither will it be given or sold to any third party. You will not receive any advertisements or any similar kind of crap becuase you subscribed to NEQNET – just daily digest of posts, containing the same information that people find on the site while visiting it.
2. By subsribing to our RSS feed
You can do that by clicking here or by clicking to the big orange RSS icon present on every page of the site or by clicking to the red couter slightly above it named “XXX readers by FeedBurner”. If you are not too internet savvy (it is understandable, especially for scientist), then I will try to explain you what is it all about (this is a slightly changed introduction into RSS feeds from FeedBurner website).
What is RSS feed and what is it good for?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.
RSS feeds are a simple way for sites to distribute their content far beyond just visitors who use web browsers. RSS feeds allow for subscription to regular updates, delivered automatically via a news reader. Feeds also make it possible for site content to be packaged into “widgets,” “gadgets,” mobile devices, and other bite-sized technologies that make it possible to display blogs, podcasts, and major news/sports/weather/whatever headlines just about anywhere.
Technology evolution in online publishing has made it really easy to not only publish regular updates to web-based content, but also keep track of a large number of your favorite websites or blogs, without having to remember to check each site manually or clutter your email inbox. You can now streamline your online experience by subscribing to specific content feeds and aggregating this information in one place to be read when you’re ready.
In a few words, subscribing to RSS feeds makes it possible for you to review a large amount of online content in a very short time.
How to read RSS feeds? If you want to browse and subscribe to feeds, you have many choices. Today, there are more than 2,000 different feed reading applications, known as “news aggregators” (for text, mostly).
A typical interface for a feed reader will display your feeds and the number of new (unread) entries within each of those feeds. You can also organize your feeds into categories and even clip and save your favorite entries (with certain applications).
If you prefer, you can use an online, web-based service to track and manage feeds. Online services give you the advantage of being able to access your feed updates anywhere you can find a web browser. Also, upgrades and new features are added automatically.
Here are some popular feed readers (personally, I use Google reader):
Applications
- NewsGator – FeedDemon 2.0
(Windows, more info) - NewsGator – Inbox for Microsoft Outlook
(Windows) - NewsGator – NetNewsWire
(OS X) - Firefox
(via “Live Bookmarks” feature) - Safari

(OS X)
