Hello, I'm Clockwise

I'm Clockwise, the Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin Ypsilanti. I plan to use this blog as another way to get information to you, the Ypsilanti employees! Reminders about task deadlines, voting, that sort of thing. We can also use it to show off some of the things we come up with in our branch forum - that way the whole world can know how creative the Ypsilanti branch is!

In my opinion, the best way for you to use this blog is to subscribe to it using the RSS feed. I use Google Reader to subscribe to RSS feeds and it's fantastic! What does it do? Well instead of getting up every morning and going to OfficeTally to see the latest Office news, then Amazon to see the daily deals, then to my favorite blogs to see if they've been updated, etc. etc., I just go to Google Reader and all the latest information and blog posts from my favorite sites are right there in one place! This is especially helpful for blogs that probably won't be updated every day (like this one) since you don't have to keep checking in to see if there's anything new.

I am subscribed to over 70 blogs and news sources using Google Reader - there's no way I could visit all of those websites everyday! But I only get about 20-40 posts sent to Reader each day from these sites and I can easily scroll through them, read the interesting ones and ignore the boring stuff.

Here's some information on how to use Google Reader and add subscriptions; if you don't have a Google account, MSN and Yahoo also have their own RSS readers (just do a search for "my MSN rss help" or "my Yahoo rss help").
