- Page 65PERSPECTIVE. The air is filled with endless images of the objects distributed in it; and all are represented in all, and all in one, and all in each, whence it happens that if two mirrors are placed in such a manner as to face each other exactly, the first will be reflected in the second and the second in the first. The first being reflected in the second ta […]
- Page 64The body of the atmosphere is full of infinite radiating pyramids produced by the objects existing in it. These intersect and cross each other with independent convergence without interfering with each other and pass through all the surrounding atmosphere; and are of equal force and value--all being equal to each, each to all. And by means of these, images o […]
- Page 63Every body in light and shade fills the surrounding air with infinite images of itself; and these, by infinite pyramids diffused in the air, represent this body throughout space and on every side. Each pyramid that is composed of a long assemblage of rays includes within itself an infinite number of pyramids and each has the same power as all, and all as eac […]
- Page 62Every point is the termination of an infinite number of lines, which diverge to form a base, and immediately, from the base the same lines converge to a pyramid [imaging] both the colour and form. No sooner is a form created or compounded than suddenly infinite lines and angles are produced from it; and these lines, distributing themselves and intersecting e […]

1. Prominant placement of a big RSS icon
Do not hide your subscription icon somewhere below the fold of your website. Place your RSS icon at the top of your website (e.g. in the header). Another important aspect, besides the placement, is the icon itself. Use a big icon, which blends perfectly in your design, and thus is good visible.
2. Give RSS subscribers a gift
Persuade your reader with a nice gift, which offcourse is only available to a subscriber of the RSS feed. If you are a blogger who uses Wordpress you can make use of the feedvertising plugin or the RSS footer to display a link.
3. Explain what RSS is
Not every reader is technical and knows what RSS is. Create a simple page, where you explain what RSS is, and for instance add the video ‘RSS in plain English’,
some links to good RSS readers and help the non tech-savvy reader in a step-by-step tutorial how he or she can subscribe to your feed.
4. Promote your RSS link on other sites
Do you make use of social media sites or use of forums? If yes, than make sure that display a link to your RSS link in your profile or in your signature. You have to make it clear though that the user is subcribing to your feed though. If you do not you can upset the reader and he or she will immediately unsubcribe because of your phishing tactic.
5. Include the possibility to receive updates by mail
A functionality in Feedburner is to offer RSS through mail. Some users do not want another program on their computer, but do however use mail. In your Feedburner account you can copy a piece of code, which you can copy and paste onto your website.
