Do You Subscribe to Your Own Blog

Seems a silly question to ask but I can’t believe that the people who run Trendspotting are subscribed to their blog and haven’t yet noticed that their blog is published without a title or haven’t done anything about it

I make a point of reading every post I make via a feed reader straight away just to check it.

Michael, we all know you subscribe to your blog not just once…

I definitely subscribe to my own blog for the reason Patrick has stated. I also subscribe to the comments on my blog too to keep tabs on it.

Actually, I definitely do too.
I do it just to make sure it looks okay to everyone else.
Not subscribing to your site is like creating a website and hoping it looks good without ever previewing it for the public!

@barry i’m just double checking

Yes I do subscribe to my own feed to make sure things look right and to make sure it’s making it to the readers. It can’t hurt to subscribe to it.

I think this is the new version of Dreamweaver’s “Untitled Document” web page titles (which are still everywhere — google “untitled document” and be amazed).
Of course I subscribe to my own blog. How am I supposed to know how it looks to subscribers? And isn’t that terribly important?

yes barry I do

I supposed that the blog without title couldn’t attract readers for it would be “inundated” in the network。

There’s two of managing my ‘blog; I write while Kate handles the marketing.
She’s also the one who subscribes to the ‘blog and looks out for the oddities, like double posts, missing posts, bad links et cetera.

I sure do! It was the first thing I did.

Is there supposed to be value to subscribing to your own blog? Perhaps I’m lost. . .

I haven’t actually thought of subscribing to my own blog until now, kinda stupid of me really. When I looked at it I noticed how I had Link Splicer enabled and thought it looked crap in the reader so have removed it. I think I need to change the blog title as it looks pretty crap in my reader too. I will defiantly keep an eye on the way it looks from now.

I totally subscribe to my own blogs. I like to see how things look in the feedreader for feed subscribers, and I’m often surprised at how different it looks than the on the page version.
