Tyner Blain can now be viewed thru the Google Toolbar!
In the top of the sidebar (on the right) is a link to automatically add Tyner Blain to your Google Toolbar. As of today, it is only supported for IE users, but Google is now a supporter of firefox, so they’ll be adding support for custom toolbar buttons soon.

How does it work?
There are two things you get – first, easy access to the most recent posts (including a short synopsis), and second – the ability to search Tyner Blain for keywords, text, categories or whatever.
How do we install it (in 4 clicks or less)?

- Confirm that the Tyner Blain button has been installed
- That’s it. 4 clicks. 3 if you have the toolbar already installed.
But I don’t use IE
Then subscribe to the RSS feed -> Copy the URL from any of the links in the red box and add it to your newsreader. Do this by right-clicking on the link, then copy the link location in firefox (or copy shortcut in IE), then paste it into your RSS reader
Or – use the firefox Livelinks capability to create a dynamic shortcut in firefox
Or – if your newsreader autodiscovers a feed from a website, just enter https://tynerblain.com/blog – the newsreader will find it for you.
