Wabash is on iTunes U

First off, loyal blog perusers, sorry I haven’t posted lately. My laptop incurred a particularly nasty virus and had to be put down. I have bought a new computer and am back up and running.

So, just in time for the new school year, Wabash has fostered an agreement with iTunes to place audio and video content that you can download for free. We’re one of over 70 national and international colleges and universities with channels on iTunes U.

It’s still being set up and a bunch of content is being ported over, so I can’t get you a direct link right now. Click here for instructions and don’t forget to Subscribe to get all the latest from Wabash.

Imagine, watching Bell Game hightlights on your iPod. What’ll they think of next?

Tech Tip: Subscribing to a Blog

Want an easy way to check in on your favorite blogs (including this one)? You can “subscribe” to a blog using the RSS feature. (RSS stands for really simple syndication, so it just has to be easy, right?) Just follow these steps:

1. Go to the blog to which you want to subscribe.

2. Find the orange button. It’s usually on that blog’s sidebar. It will say RSS, XML, or Atom. You may also see a link that says “Syndicate this site.” Click on any one of these.


3. (I’m using Firefox as my browser. Your browser may vary.) You should see something like this:

4. Press Subscribe Now. You can send the RSS link to your Bookmarks Toolbar. I recommend renaming a long name. (For instance, “Wabash ‘91″ instead of “Wabash College - Class of 1991.”)

5. Press OK, and it appears on your browser.

6. If you click on it, you can see the last few posts, and select one that you want to read.

You can also do this for Wabash headlines. We’ll just make it easy. Here are some Wabash links that you can subscribe to:
