TexyHills Updates

The Texas Hill Country has a lot going on.

I will be adding and improving pages on TexyHills.com weekly... or regularly... well… as I can.

TexyHills Updates will let you know when there are new or updated pages added to my website. That puts those newest pages here in one place, so you don't have to hunt for them by looking for "What's New?".

If you have an RSS reader, you can subscribe to my RSS feed. That will give you these updates right on your own RSS reader, without returning to the website, or even providing your email.

As you look through the TexyHills website, you will see a "What's New?" headline at the bottom of almost all my pages.

Simply hover over the orange icon and right-click on your choice of readers.

Then copy the link address and paste it into your favorite RSS reader. That's it!

Although, you can still come back here (or any What's New) to look for the newest pages. They will be shown below as they become live on TexyHills.com.
