I added a bunch of feeds to my Bloglines subscription list (because of this list of the Best Blogs that You Aren’t Reading) and I noticed that most of the blogs has three or four RSS feeds (one or two RSS, an Atom feed, maybe a catchall like xml.someblog.com) and a few had ten or twenty or more because of sub blogs or category subscriptions.
All I wanted to do was subscribe to the blog. Why do I care whether it’s delivered to me as RSS (1 or 2?) or Atom? Just give me one URL that spits out XML parsable by my feed reader and I’ll be happy. It took a while, but now I really understand the utility of FeedBurner. You can always subscribe to this little blog with one, simple URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/gty.
