  • Use the recent posts link in the sidebar. That gives you a running list of posts, with the newest at the top. Often you'll need to click on the comment to understand its discussion context.
  • Use RSS. Have the internet come to you! It's easy to set up a feed reader, and you can view updates by signing up for Columbia Citizens feeds. The R and the S stand for "Really Simple".
