Old artifact from switching to WordPress. Fixed!

JohnR: For now, I’d just prefer that full content only live in the browser. That may change though.

Why can’t we get the full feed in our readers. I can understand NYTimes needing the pageviews for their dying business but I’d love to get the full feed in my reader so I don’t have to jump over to your site every time there’s an update.
Any chance of that happening?

You’ve managed to migrate from Movable Type blog platform to WordPress in less time than one day? With so many blog posts and comments and a theme to tweak and old URLs not to break?… I admire the work done! :-)

BTW, I am sure it’ll be interesting not only to me, but to a lot of your users, if you might answer to the following question — what decided you to “jump” from MT to WP, if it’s not a secret?… If you write about it in one of your next posts, would be great! (And also if you may unveil what difficulties you had during the move period, problems encountered and how you resolved them, etc.)!

Cheers, M.

The two are one in the same last time I checked. RSS is just the format in which that subscription is delivered.

How is an RSS different than a subscription?

If your RSS feeds are in a toolbar bookmark it requires you to access it to determine if there is new content. A subscription allows the user to organize content through watever filter they desire. What is the advantage of an RSS over a subscription?

Well, in so many words it has pretty much been laid out here, hasn’t it? :)

Like Mike said, to notify users of new content rather than randomly checking the site with the hopes of their possibly being new content. Also, if you have a feed aggregator (or like me and you have all your primary RSS feeds in your Firefox bookmarks toolbar) it allows easy access to multiple sources of information, quickly.

“…what RSS is and list all the advantages of being a subscriber?”

What are the addvantages of RSS to the end user?

I suppose this actually makes sense. Perhaps a link in said “subscribe” bar that describes what RSS is and list all the advantages of being a subscriber?

Once that hurdle is crossed, subscribing to them isn’t a problem.

Still a nice way to implement the “subscribe”, though …
