using the site

Are you more interested in some parts of this site than in others? Now you can be notified when there is new content you're particularly interested in.

You'll notice now that each post has a "subscribe post" link. If you subscribe to a post you'll get an email any time that post is updated or gets a new comment. If it's a blog post there will also be a "subscribe blog" option. That'll let you know whenever a new entry is posted on that blog.

More intersted in subscribing to a particular topic area? If you click on your "My subscriptions" link (under your name if you're logged in) you'll see that you can subscribe to categories (tags) or to content types. Want to know anytime something is posted with the tag "sex work"? Now you can subscribe to that catgory. What to know any time a new link is added? Subscribe to links.

We owe this new capability to Chris, who was apparently looking for something to do around 5am today.

Thanks Chris! 

Many thanks to Viviane of the Sex Carnival for explaining to me how she acquired for her sidebar the ever-updated list of news items on so many sex-related topics! I've adapted it for use here, and you can see a page devoted to "Sex in the News" if you click on the "New Feature: Sex in the News" item that has magically appeared in your navigation menu on the left. (That's the menu with your name attached or, if you're not logged in, that simply says "Navigation".)

It looks like this:

You can see the list of news topics there near the top under the heading "In the news". (They look like tags.) When you click on one, Google pulls together the most recent stories found using that search term and displays them for you on the page.
