I’ve stayed blissfully unaware of the potential of RSS, and am looking for suggestions about it.<\/p>\n
I’m suspecting that my neglect of RSS is causing a peculiar behavior – I’ll go for a week with almost no comments on anything I write, and then in about an hour 4 or 5 “regulars” post all at the same time.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That makes me suspect people are listening to an RSS feed that is only irregularly updated.<\/p>\n
I’m reluctant to actually enable RSS in wordpress.\u00a0\u00a0 First, it causes comment spam and trackback spam – people who think it’s five years ago and you can get Google “street cred” by spamming other blogs with automated nonsense “comments”.<\/p>\n
The other reason is my dislike of “Fly by” comments – people who have no idea what this web site is, have read nothing else I’ve written, pick up their “agenda” keyword, and slap on a comment saying “You’re stupid, you suck” without actually providing any information about why I’m wrong – other than they just know it – it’s “common sense”, “a known fact”, etc….\u00a0 and you can guarantee they’ll never come back to the site if you take the time to try to engage them in a conversation.<\/p>\n
So my question is…\u00a0 Are you picking up what I write here based on monitoring an RSS feed or by watching the web site or using a saved bookmark?<\/p>\n
I know it’s summer winding down and not many people are staring at their computers, but I’m getting to the point (again) of thinking that doing this is not a good use of my time…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
