There are feeds for this blog, and the URLs of them are on the main page:

Posts: http://www.penciltalk.org/feed
Comments: http://www.penciltalk.org/comments/feed

In addition to these there are also feeds for the comments to every single post – just append “/feed” to the post’s permalink to get the feed URL (e. g. “http://www.penciltalk.org/2012/01/turn-it/feed”).

@Faeorain Ui’Neill: Just remembered that most web browsers now allow you to bookmark RSS feeds (aka “live bookmarks”), for example see http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/livebookmarks

@Faeorain Ui’Neill: You need a feed reader – a program, or else perhaps something like Google’s “Google Reader” – see http://www.google.com/reader/view/ – with one of these you can subscribe to the feed URL and not have to revisit the site here to be notified of a new post. Hope that helps!

I simply check the site, Faeorain. I don’t believe that subscribing to a feed is possible (famous last words).

How do I become a ” feed subscriber ” to the Pencil Talk blog? Maybe I’m just having a dense moment, but I can’t seem to figure it out.

thanks, Faeorain

I HAVE AN OLD EBERHARD FABER FLAT CEDAR WAISTCOAT PENCIL IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A TWO-METAL CASE… LOOKS LIKE A VERY LIGHT COPPER AND THE PENCIL TIP, BRASS. THE NAME IS EMBOSSED ON THE CASE AND STAMPED ON THE PENCIL. TOOK SOME TIME TO GET ENOUGH OF THE TARNISH OFF TO REALLY SEE THE METALS. ANYWAY, I WAS WONDERING WHAT IT MIGHT BE WORTH. THE PENCIL IS IN LIKE NEW SHAPE BUT THE ERASER IS PETRIFIED. (MY CAP-LOCK STICKS… I’M NOT YELLING).

Very interesting! It looks like the result would resemble using a pocket knife to sharpen a pencil.

NaNoWriMo is coming up pretty soon. Anyone planning on using pencil for it (or at least a fair fraction of it)? I’m thinking of primarily typing it, but doing all my preliminary planning in pencil.
