About/Follow
This blog is entirely independent of The Independent, The Mirror and Mark Steel.
I created it out of frustration that The Independent did not, and The Mirror does not, provide feeds for articles by columnists like Mr Steel.
You can get email alerts and also follow the main feed via Facebook or Twitter
You can, of course, follow Mr Steel's Twitter, but then you need to be a Twitter user and a Crystal Palace/Tennis/Cricket and even Snooker fan.
Since Oct 2015, The Independent has started to offer feeds for each of their columnists, thanks to the new Drupal powered site.
This is Independent Feed is https://www.independent.co.uk/author/mark-steel/rss
However, since this blog came into existence, Mr Steel has also started doing the odd column for The Mirror.
Their site claims to generate feeds, but it does not work for his articles. Therefore, I created one using using Google Alerts and Feedburner: Mark Steel Mirror - powered by FeedBurner
So now the main feed is a combination of both via follow.it https://follow.it/mark-steel-articles
When this blog was first created the Facebook page for his column had not been updated since September 2013 but since Sept 2015 it is being updated, with his columns and the odd other Independent article.
Since March 2017 you can sign up for his Newsletter on his website. It does link to his latest Independent articles, but it often appears a few days after, or just the day before the next one is published. But it is worth signing up for his ruminations on the comments section and for updates on all his other work.
Plus the website has an audio section with his BBC Radio series from 96-2002.
This blog is only made possible by the wonders of IFTTT, and of course Google.
