Followed a link from InstaPundit to the Speculist. I've been over there a number of times in the past so I decided that I'd add their feed to my google reader. Where is the link? I'm looking around for that stupid Orange box or something telling me 'RSS here!'. I knew it would be over on the margin. Eventually I found it in small type in among all the other crap. What a pain.
I know there is a lot of stuff going on about how Twitter is killing blogging - but seriously - RSS still rewls. I rarely actually go to web-sites any more. I read their stuff via the feed.
I don't mind ads placed in your RSS feed. I do mind RSS feeds with partial posts though - SEO Book's RSS feed is only partial, guess whose blog doesnt get read by me?
Anyway - for such an important feature of blogging - it really ought to be made easy to find on your blog so people can subscribe. Just make it a big orange square so they'll know where to click.
