No matter who you are, if you blog and you want to be read consistently, you need to provide an RSS feed for your readers to subscribe to. Blogging Basics 101 has several articles that explain RSS and aggregators (or feed readers). This site even have an article explaining exactly how to add the orange RSS button to your blog.
Daily Blog Tips is encouraging everyone to ensure they have their RSS feeds working and displayed prominently on their site. On May 1st DBT is asking everyone to discuss the importance of RSS feeds. This Daily Blog Tips article, May 1st RSS Awareness Day: Get Involved, explains exactly what they’re trying to do and how you can help. There are prizes involved, people!

Interesting that you’ve blogged about RSS. Your own blog here publishes only a partial (not full) feed. This forces people to come visit your site to read your posts. I much prefer to read via Bloglines.
In fact, your blog is blocked to me in China. But I can read it via a feed reader. Yet another reason to publish a full feed.
The general consensus from what I have read is that full feeds are superior. Why? Because it’s what the reader wants.

Please consider switching to a full feed. This blog is a great resource!
Thanks!
