2600 Why I don't RSS you
Sure, it's easy, they say. But do I want more things to read? I just click on my favorite links which are right here to my left, recommended by me and occasionally updated. As it is, I subscribe to way too many newsletters, a method I prefer to RSS feeds. I hear from James Carville and some lady (Nikki?) at the LATimes for news from the left; I get Nathan Bierma who writes for the Tribune about language; Michael Yon for news from Iraq; Boogie Jack tells me web page code secrets; George Barna keeps me informed about surveys of Christians; I get a genealogy newsletter, and a film maker newsletter, and an adoption newsletter from Capital U.; James Taranto of the WSJ and Christianity Today alert me when they have something new to say; and I have on-line subscriptions to WaPo and NYT. Medscape tells me when one of you have commented, so I can go back and find it. Really, I don't want your RSS feed. I have enough to do feeding my own eight blogs. And then there's all that Viagra and ink cartridge and mortgage spam.
My RSS feeds goes on to my Google page, of which you are one -- interestingly, your's is the only one that doesn't work and let me know when you post something new (though you are prolific enough in your writing that I rarely go to your site where you don't have a new posting).
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I like your new background of flowers!
I've been told that before--that my RSS feed doesn't work--but I have no idea what to do, since I know nothing about it. I think it is my level of blogger (i.e. free).
