Blog Feeds and Apologies
“Remember, I do this to entertain me… not you.” -Say Uncle tagline
Just to get something off my chest, as an official blog policy, I blog here because of an innate need to rant. I pay the hosting, and I have no ads. Although I appreciate my readers, I owe you nothing. Don’t expect me to apologize when I fail to post.
“And, again, sorry for the light blogging and all the linky-no-thinky posts. Busy.” -SayUncle
SayUncle’s (rss) blog is a little different. With his daily hit count, it’s probably a good idea for him to post something like this when he gets slow, just to keep people checking back. And hey, I enjoy reading his stuff even when he slips out of “rant mode” back into “aggregator mode”. In fact, his coverage is so good, it keeps me from having to cook up my own “guns and rights and stuff” news feeds.
Me? I’m asking for nothing, selling no ads, and I probably think it’s best if I just don’t publish content when I have nothing to say. If you like a blogger, but start to get sick of surfing over to their domain to check to see if there’s finally an update, you ought to look into a feed aggregator(Wikipedia.org). There are different types: stand alone programs, programs that integrate into your browser, and online websites that let you access your feeds from anywhere. It’s just like having your very own robot go around to all your favorite blog to do all the boring work looking for updates. That way, when Feces Flinging Monkey (rss) finally updates, you know about it.
I do appreciate my readers though, and if you want to thank me for some reason, the best thing to do is to word an intelligent reply, and either post it as a comment, or trackback from your own blog.
Just for the record, this is my posting feed.
Thanks.
