How to subscribe to individual feeds of authors and Share their posts
The screen shot above is from Chad Husting’s Density and Measuring post accessed 9/13/17.
Many of our ChemEd X readers have favorite authors that they would like to follow. If you scroll to the bottom of a post, you can see how the post was tagged for topics, you can share the post by using the social media links, you can bookmark the page, you can read that authors tagline and you can subscribe to their feed to get updates when that author posts again.
How to Use the Search Feature
1. Enter the topic you are interested in by entering keywords into the search bar found at the top of most ChemEd X pages.
2. Below, you can see what the screen will look like if you search DENSITY. You can scroll through the resources that come up below the search bar. You can filter the search "by topic", "chemical compound", "chemistry domain", "tags", "types" of manuscripts and by "author". These filters are found on the right side of the page.
3. For instance, If you wish to find a demonstration related to density, you can use the filters to narrow down the choices. Cllick on demonstrations.
4. Several options will show up that fit the narrower search.
5. There may be a few resources that are revealed by the search that are part of the ChemEd X subscription.
