I subscribe to your RSS. I found your site by both MT-hack searches and via Mark Pilgrim.

Also, as per RFC 2616, you aren't supposed to use the referer field for that purpose. NetNewsWire has already stopped doing this.

If you can't use the Referer header, is there anywhere else it could be done? Would User-Agent suffice, or is that bad as well?

2003-06-03T00:14:15Z

I don't like this idea.

The referer field is there to tell you (the webmaster) when someone came to your site as a result of performing an action on a local or remote site, typically clicking on a link on that site.

Myself, I do actively deny access to certain sites that actively abuse the referer in other ways (when they use it to spam my logs, for instance).

There is also the privacy concern:While I have no problems actively telling you here, in your comments, that I do both read and enjoy your site, I do not neccessarily want people to be able to know _when_ I'm reading, or from where I'm reading.

My RSS files?

Hey Brad -- I've been subscribed for a few months via NewsGator. Incidentally, NG stopped sending the Referrer early on. Actually, come to think of it, I'm not even sure NG ever supported the 'Referer' header, but I do remember Greg talking about it.

Anyway, my RSS feed is found here: http://www.hatch.org/b2/b2rss.php

I've been reading you regularly since that version of Movable Type came out that supported plugins, and you were one of the first out of the gate to write some kickass plugins -- which, I might add, you're still doing.

I've read for about a year or so, subscribed recently because your latest layout doesn't display properly in my default browser (mac osx.2, ie5.2) -- the blogbody's squished into the first 100 or so horizontal pixels so each line of your entries have maybe two words top, and it hurts my eyes *sniff*

old MT default feeds which I've never bothered to find out how to change or update, but will one day:

I'm reading quasi-randomly at this point, having bounced onto your site most recently from the "Newly Digital" threads elsewhere but having encountered your name--and read the site--several times in the past. Mostly that's from MT-Textile, I suspect.

More than once I ended up here following links from other places, and I've been subscribed since some time last year when you wondered about how to get Google to ignore portions of pages. (Did you ever get any kind of reply to the mail you sent them?)

If RSS auto-discovery works, I shouldn't have to pollute your page with yet another ugly url... :-)

2003-06-04T21:50:32Z

It amazes me how few people seem to know about blo.gs, even though basically every MT blog out there (including this one) is preconfigured to ping it. I like the blo.gs model; you have one centralized thing which tracks the sites which ping it, and has a nice variety of interfaces for people to read the sites they're tracking (including a per-user RDF, so you can still use a weblog aggregator if you're into that sort of thing).

I hate how something like 90% of the hits to my site are to my weblog's RDF from all of the people who have subscribed to it on their client-side RSS aggregators. It means I get no meaningful readership statistics at all anymore.

Also, with the blo.gs model, you could conceivably get simple information like how many people are watching your weblog, and there's already useful stuff like "what other weblogs might I like?" and so on. It's also not restricted to things with an RDF; like, whenever I get around to the sporadic updates of my webcomic, my publish script pings blo.gs and so people who have subscribed to it there can see when it was last updated (without me having to put out an RDF or even figure out how to make an RDF applicable to something which would be fairly nonsensical for an RDF).

I've been reading your site ever since I discovered Movable Type. Most of your plugins are indispensable to me (Textile), or they'll soon be (MT-SQL, Regex), once I get around to implementing the parts of my site that will use them.

I've only just subscribed to your feed realising that it wasn't on my NewsNetWire list, coming here to add it and finding this post. Then I had to dig around and find the link to the RSS feed, finally got it in the 'about' section. The links for the Sideblog and Ask Brad feeds are obvious and jump right out at you, however the link for your main feed is hidden somewhere at the back, in a dusty corner.

Maybe you could add a nice orange XML badge?

Back when I started blogging, I always imagined that my blogs were something that only me, and a few personal...

The etiquette of reading weblogs

2003-06-07T00:58:17Z

Rands just had what he described as a "Holy Duh" moment with regard to weblogging, and what weblogs are: The painfully simple question is, "What is a weblog?" The painfully simple answer is, "A weblog is the representation of a person on the Internet."...
