Hot Topics: Full RSS feeds, how often to blog
Shel Holtz on posting full RSS feeds. There has been a lot of back and forth on this for the past few weeks. Shel's argument for full feeds pretty much sums up all the "pro" opinions I've read. Needless to say, I agree -- if you are reading my blog in an RSS aggregator, you get a full feed. And if I've written long, as I sometimes do, there is a warning at the top of the post. My feelings aren't hurt if you don't have the time :-)
Amy Gahran over at Contentious had two good posts about daily blogging (not) -- I'm linking to the second as it has a link to the first within it. She makes some very good points about why it isn't necessarily wise to post every day or multiple times in a day. Underlying thesis is that the quality of writing is more important than frequency of posting.
I agree. If you are writing original content, versus a link blog, it is far better to be good than to be often. If you can do both, more power to you. I aim to get one original post per week, and supplement with short posts (like this one).
Of course, in the end, it is YOUR blog, so do what you like :-)
