Gale, Peter has enable RSS feeds on the "News" page. By clicking on the RSS feed icon on the right side of the page you will be taken to a page with a "subscribe" link. Select the link to subscribe to the page/site. If you do not know what an RSS feed is, check this youtube video from Model Railroad Hobbyist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLXFWW3TB-8 Once can now subscribe to many websites via the RSS feeds, then check the feeds to determine if there are updates. Here are feed links to subscribe to a few S-scale web sites: http://www.nasg.org/rss.xml http://themodelrailwayshow.com/cn1950s/?feed=rss2 http://bobssscaleprrelimrabranch.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss http://coloradosouthern.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss http://www.pmrr.org/rss.xml http://sscaleworkshop.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss http://sn2modeler.com/feed/ http://sn2trains.com/feed/ There are probably more.... If anyone wants to create an S-scale website with RSS feeds, consider using wordpress or blogger. Both provide free websites/blogging that can enable RSS feeds. Personally, I subscribe to some 50 RSS feeds...Each day I check for updates and read the updated pages (if they interest me)....It's like getting a daily model railroad magazine....
