How To Easily Track Comics on KickStarter

 I've been looking at comics and graphic novel projects on KickStarter for a a long time now, and it gets more and more irritating that there's no easy way of seeing them all as they're posted. At least there isn't within KickStarter. But as soon as I figured out what I wanted I figured out how to do it.

http://www.kicktraq.com/categories/comics/latest.rss

This is a third party site that tracks KS projects, complete with data and RSS feeds. What we want is the RSS feed URL for the "Comics" section.

https://blogtrottr.com/

And this is a site that translates RSS feeds into periodic email updates. Simply take the RSS URL from KickTraq and paste it into BlogTrottr. Add your email address and choose your update frequency (I have mine set to every 12 hours, it work well for me) and you're good to go. Both sites are free.

I've only been using this a couple days but it's working perfectly and I'm loving it.
