Rssify!

I'm sure I don't read as many blogs as some, but I've found that the list of must-read blogs gets longer over time. What I've found really frustrating, though, is the sheer number of people who don't use RSS. RSS allows people to see when you post new stories without having to visit your site. This saves loads of time and energy. More importantly for those of us who use aggregators to track the blogs we read, it allows us to add you to the list so we can actually remember to visit your site. The Evangelical Outpost has some links to an excellent guide to get you started.

It's very frustrating when I come across a great blog like this one that I'd like to read, but...NO RSS! I'll never remember the url so these sites just sort of fall off my radar.

Please, I beg of you...add RSS now! (especially you blogspot people.) Have mercy on those of us whose lives are so pathetic that we've resorted to living our lives vicariously through the blogs we visit online.

The lack of RSS and other options is one of the joys of blogging for free. You know the old saying, you get what you pay for!

I think I'm the blog URL you're looking for. I see the RSS tag in my template so I thought I had RSS. What should I do to get/activate it?

Disregard my previous post. I read your post and went to Evangelical Outpost. I'll get right on it. And thanks for calling my blog "great."
