You now have multiple ways to subscribe to Culture Blast.

Culture Blast is still available by email subscription, only now you have many more options to receive only the content you want. All former Artifice subscribers were subscribed to the All Events email for Culture Blast. Please visit the subscription page to see what other content types and regions are available by email.

All Culture Blast content is also available through a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed, which you can import to MyYahoo, MyAOL, Google Reader, Outlook or Thunderbird.

Content is now also delivered daily, when available. If you subscribe by email, any new listings from the day will be sent to you between 7pm and 9pm. As with all RSS feeds, if you subscribe to them, any new listings will be delivered to you immediately.

How to subscribe by email:

1. Go to the subscription page
2. Click on the mail icon  next to the list you want to subscribe to
3. A window will open
4. Enter your email address
5. Enter the text validation to confirm that you're not a spambot
6. Click the "Complete Subscription Request" button
7. Close the popup window
8. Check your address for a confirmation email from Feedburner
9. Click on the link in the email to confirm your subscription. This is to prevent you from being spammed!
10. That's all!

If you do not receive a confirmation email from Feedburner, check your email's Spam folder first. If you still can't find anything, please contact us and we will add you manually.

How to subscribe to the RSS feed:

1. Go to the subscription page
2. Click on the rss icon  next to the list you want to subscribe to
3. A window will open
4. On the right side of the page, you will have a box with options for adding the RSS feed to your feed reader. Click on your desired option and continue the process from that website
   

The link that opens is also the URL of the feed, which can be used for importing into Google Reader, Outlook or Thunderbird.

Creating your own feed

This is an experimental option we are offering to Culture Blast visitors. By creating your own feed, you can create an RSS feed with all of the content types you want to receive. Note that at this time, any custom feeds you create can only be accessed by a feed reader (like Google Reader, Outlook or Thunderbird) or directly on the feed's page. Selecting multiple options, such as Workshops and Cambridge, will also give you all of those listings (e.g. all workshops, regardless of area, and all Cambridge listings, regardless of type).

Because of the number of possible custom feeds that are possible, we are not providing a direct email subscription for custom feeds at this time. You can use a third-party website, such as Feed My Inbox, to subscribe to the feed you create.

We are working on improving the way you can subscribe to Culture Blast. If you have any suggestions or feedback, please contact us. In the meantime why don't you visit our calendar, which does allow you to filter to your heart's content!
