It is the best way to not give control of what you read to the vague algorithms of search and social media. However, I pay some attention to how folks get to my own posts and recognize that search and social media account for a substantial proportion of the page views. If not RSS, I suggest you follow me on Twitter to identify the headlines from posts you may find interesting. Twitter does not select content for you and you see the content of those you follow. Following Twitter link recommendations offers a form of discovery based on your trust in those you follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Twitter posts can be located at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/grabe\">@grabe<\/a>. I do tweet about many topics and some political comments.
