This Week’s Topic: RSS
I have a love/hate relationship with RSS. I absolutely love that there’s an easy way to distribute content automatically. I personally absolutely hate using feed readers (which is why I rigged Twitter to serve as a feed reader). Love or hate this method of reading blogs, if you want to be a successful blogger yourself, you need to understand RSS – at least some of your readers are going to use it and, even more importantly, how to get more subscribers. Let’s see what some brilliant bloggers have to say about this topic.
