Like I said yesterday: Movable Type 2.64 has been released. I’ll be upgrading later today or tomorrow after I get the courage to do it, since my blog is now running on MySQL and I’m with a new host; but I have the feeling things will go smoothly, especially now that I’m not using any hacks in the MT installation. That means I won’t have to go through any complicated code and change things, he he!.
Christine posted an entry asking who is reading her blog via RSS and I want to ask people who come here the same thing. Alors, how many people read this blog through RSS feeds instead of online? Leave a comment. I still have to go back to reading blogs online more often because I’ve been neglecting the non-RSS ones. Shame on me! 
Everyone should have RSS feeds! Everyone! (Ok, I’m biased like that.) I read 90% of the time through Newzcrawler, although sometimes I surf off sites instead. Reading via RSS feeds makes things much easier though, and I tend to comment more often when I do.
I guess I just don’t get the whole RSS feed thing. I understand how it works and in theory, it seems like a good way to catch up with news-type sites. However, I believe that the design of a site is part of the experience and you miss out on all of that if you view sites through RSS feeds. Just my two cents…
I remember reading Zeldman, defending the experience of reading the whole site – after all, that is why it has been designed like that.
Although the readers give some flexibility, they are another step when trying to read a site, and thus become cumbersome. Leaving a comment, admiring design or pictures, or linking with trackback to any other post become complex sequences.
I rather read.
I read your site through RSS (SharpReader, to be exact). Kym’s right; I do miss out on designs this way– it’s a good reason to comment frequently, so I get to see everyone’s sites!
hmmm. Depends on my mood. I haven’t read any blogs all week. Just catching up today. I’ve had too much to do this week.
