Want to know what all of these social sharing buttons, badges, and widgets mean? Here is what you will get when you click buttons under Subscribe & Share.
RSS Subscription Option
When you click on the RSS button in the sidebar, you will be taken to the RSS feed for Kikolani. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and it allows you to follow the latest posts on Kikolani in the RSS reader of your choice. I use Google Reader since it connects to my Google account along with my Gmail, Google Analytics, and Google+ profile. Any blog you subscribe to in Google Reader will look like this.
When you click on any post title from Kikolani, you will get to read the full article in Google Reader. You can click on the title of the post again to bring you to Kikolani.com to comment on the post or share it using the social sharing buttons at the top or bottom of the post.
Email Subscription Option
Prefer to receive the latest posts from Kikolani via email? Click on the Email button. You will be taken to a page asking for your email address and a captcha to prevent spam subscriptions.
You will also receive a confirmation email to activate your subscription. This ensures that no one signs up your email address without your consent. Then, each time there is a new post (no more than 1 per day), you will receive an email with the entire post (minus any videos as those don’t travel well via email).
Connect on Google+
Google+ is an essential network for both social and search engine marketing. Be sure to create your own personal profile (if you haven’t already) and add me to your circles on Google+.
Follow on Twitter
If you want to follow me on Twitter where I share my latest posts along with other great posts throughout the day on blogging, business, freelance, online marketing, personal development, search engine optimization, and social media, then click the follow. You will automatically follow me using the Twitter account you are currently signed in to. If you’re not signed in already, you’ll get the following screen which tells you a bit about my account and allows you to sign in.
Google +1
If you like the content on Kikolani, you can click the Google +1 button to let Google know. It will show up on your Google+ profile under your +1′s tab.

This box will allow you to sign up for my newsletter. Don’t worry – at the most, I send out an email once a week. You’ll also get a coupon code for my eBook, Blog Post Promotion – The Ultimate Guide.
