300 RSS subscribers
Today is something of a landmark day for me. For the first time in this blog’s lifetime, we have more than 300 RSS subscribers. This is a great point to be at because RSS subscribers are most valuable visitors to any blog. RSS subscribers are the life force of a blog because those visitors are the ones who make a point to come back and read the posts.
I’m not saying that my blog is the best out there, but RSS subscribers are food for the blogger’s soul. I do my best with the time I have.
If you’re still not sure what RSS is, you should sign up for Google Reader or Bloglines so that you can subscribe to your favorite blogs and read their latest posts all in one place. I use Google Reader.
Once you have your RSS reader set up, add my RSS feed.
Likewise, if you have a blog, the easiest way to monitor and control your feed is to sign up with Feedburner. Feedburner offers an incredibly easy service to use. If you have a blog, you ought to use Feedburner, rather than simply rely on a plain RSS feed.

Woot! Cool. I have no idea how many I have. Feedburner: 65-80 depending on the day, plus another 20 from other feeds, but I have no idea if that’s accurate. I can’t figure out why anyone would subscribe to my blog; I wouldn’t. People are strange.
