We've added a link to the raw iTunes RSS feed for the podcast ... just click the RSS icon -

That's where I was before.  Thanks!

All the community links now have RSS feeds. Click the icon next to each feed to see it displayed in your browser. You don't even need to belong to any of these sites to see the latest and greatest!

And you should be able to subscribe to each of these feeds in your email progam, which means you can get any updates automatically delivered to you! And as a plus, RSS feeds never get spam because you opted in. Imagine that, email feeds without spam.

If you haven't tried RSS feeds yet, you should. We'll be posting an MRH Theater video series on "the internet for model railroaders" that will demostrate how cool and easy RSS feeds are. Once you see what they can do for you, believe me, you will be hooked!

Joe,

I click the link (http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/facebook) and see the Model Railroad Hobbyist Facebook page, but I don't see  anything on the left or anywhere about becoming a friend. What am I missing?

Thanks, Al

you don't become their "friend," you simply click that you "Like" them and then you will have them on your newsfeed. 

feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you think

So I recently joined a site called trainlife.com  it seems pretty interesting.  Any chance you have a presence there?

Every month, I download the Embedded Version to my computer and then look through it and without fail, even though the little thumbnail image shows up at the bottom of the page, the actual page never loads.  I never get any error message and I can click on the next image and the page shows. 

Is this a known problem?

I assume you are clicking on the red button (copy to my computer), getting the download wizard, and selecting the embedded edition. Once the download finishes, you will go to the PDF and open it with some program like Adobe Reader.

Are you opening the embedded edition with Adobe Reader, or something else?

What kind of computer is this?

Twitter seems like a great medium if you want to pass something on in a brief format.  It can include pictures and will broadcast to whom ever subscribes to your twitter feed.  This is useful if you feel telling subscribers something like "you should see how to make great widgets for your layout at this web site" would be helpful.  But I don't think any thing in depth could be posted. 

But with a twitter subscription you could follow postings by celebrities and political people. ( just kidding)

You'd think technical subjects or potential supplier information could be usefully put on Twitter though, as referrals to in depth articles or suppler web sites or maybe hints on how to do something.

You must create a twitter account at the Twitter website and follow their rules to post.   Twitter is used by probably millions for various uses, (not myself yet either) I have only so much time in a day and find I only want to communicate with the world at a lesser amount.  Doing something more tangible and possibly sharing that with others is the extent of my "posting" at present.

I am using an Apple Pro desk top and clicked on the "reply" at the end of the readers post.  I have PDF writer and viewer  and seem to view much of my received content with "preview" that Apple supplies with it's OSX.

I am fairly new to model railroading, having done some model creation in other areas.  I have been working with others locally (Vancouver B.C.) with their train hardware and software and figure it is about time for my own system.

My work shop is well equipped and I have a working history in electrical and electronics, so it seems a natural evolution into model trains.  I was raised with a grandfather who was a machinist for one of the major Canadian railways in the steam era and he made a point of taking me to rail way shops in Alberta.  I was quite young then but it seems to have stayed with me.

Best Regards,

Murray
