Robert Scoble förklarar att det egentligen är meningslöst att försöka teoretisera för mycket runt bloggande utan
do what you love, put stuff up you’d love to read, and the rest will fall into place.
Han gör det i en kommentar till Darren Rowses postning 34 Reasons Why Readers Unsubscribe from Your Blog där han listat ett antal skäl för varför läsare väljer att sluta att prenumerera på RSS-feeden på en viss blogg. Jag har fetat de saker som får mig personligen att fimpa en feed.
