could you get a newsfeed please?
man you folks just don't know how easy a newsfeed makes life. it's easier than saving folks to favorites, a links list, or a blog roll. you get an rss feed, and bam someone can automaticall add you to their newsreader. it would make so many folks lives a lot easier, and your blog easier to visit. do you know what it's like to keep visiting a blog that hasn't been updated in a long time? of course you do, you visit here. but i've got a newsfeed and even before this new design, i had created my own - hand coded, that's right.
and if you still don't know what i'm talking about, here's a few links to start you in the right direction. and for the rest of you who don't care, you know what, that's alright.
All About RSS
Network World Fusion's Do It Yourself RSS Feed
An Introduction to RSS News Feeds
Sharing Your Site With RSS
and here's dmoz's list of newsreaders
and here's another directory that might be helpful.
personally, i prefer bloglines. you can even make a blog roll from your subscriptions.

I hear that now Blogger and BlogSpot users now have RSS feeds for their sites. Thing is, most folks don't know what they are, what they do, and why they should have them.

OK. I think I've set up both the blogstreet and the feedster RSS feeds correctly on my site now. Can you guys tell me if it's working when I post next. I might do a short post tomorrow morning just to see if it's working ok except I don't have a news reader so I won't know unless those of you with newfeeds tell me, thanks.
