Feed me!

Posted 1 year, 10 months ago → Categories: online > offline

OH MY GOODNESS. I DELETED ALL MY FEEDS LAST NIGHT. I am amazingly, absolutely, completely shattered at the moment. (Ok, not really, I’m just annoyed at myself.)

Also, let me just now emphasise how important it is that you have a visible feed link on your site, if you have one. Chances are, I will never visit your site regularly if you don’t have a feed, because I am lazy like that (and I cannot be arsed to visit sites manually). Ok ok, sure, I can just click the orange button in the address bar or add you to my bookmarks, but give a lazy little shit like me a break would you? ;) Also, it’s not just me, but the entire lazy population of the internet that love feeds. I am not the only one!

Feeds are my saviour. I can’t believe I deleted my list. Goodbye fifty or so feeds and please excuse me while I spend the rest of the day repopulating the list. Oh, and I am always on the lookout for awesome new sites (with RSS feeds :P) so while I’m reading everything, I might as well add some more, give me a yell if you know/own a fantastic site (I trust your judgement!)

    I have a feed!

  2. # Mari, 1 year, 10 months ago.

    Whatever you do, do NOT visit my site.

    Actually, I still read blogs the old fashioned way. That’s just how I roll.

    I’m never inclined to use feeds but seeing many people using them, I might try it out.

    Erm… good luck in rebuilding your feeds. :P

    Me! Me! pick my feed

  5. # Amanda, 1 year, 10 months ago.

    Ahaha! You do smart things everyday. :) (And I have a feed!)

    I have all my fave feeds on my start page, so as soon as I open the Internet I can see who has updated :) I would eventually forget to check certain sites if it weren’t for feeds.

    (ooh and for what it’s worth, I have a feed too)

  7. # Susie, 1 year, 10 months ago.

    *holds up hand* I have a feed too!!! :P

  8. # Kat, 1 year, 10 months ago.

    I found out about feeds about a month or 2 after I started blogging. Love ‘em! I have a feed but it’s uh, not working properly…. Try it and see :)

    Aww, I know exactly how you feel… I recently deleted all of my images. Yay for us!

    I have a feed *hint hint* because I guess people like them. I think they’re neat…

    But I’d rather actually visit the site and then read/comment. I like looking around at sites and seeing color!

    I don’t understand why I haven’t found feeds so amazing yet. Maybe it’s because I’m Canadian? We are slow on things? Haha :P.

    Hey, Canada’s awesome. You guys have Amber Macathur

    Feeds are just… I mean I love visiting websites, but I honestly have no idea when people blog unless I have subscribed to their feed. I just check that they have updated, then I open the post page in a new tab and go from there!

    Bloglines won’t pick up some of the feeds, which is depressing. So I have to do some manually. I actually have the bloglines notifier, and it pops up when somebody updates their blogs!
