I don’t Twitter
I don’t facebook (I have a whole page on why)
I’m on WordPress …

does that make me an outcast?

I totally agree on the feeder topic… in fact, I’m checking mine now to be sure it’s set on the settings I prefer. I think it’s common courtesy, golden rule, Internet etiquette.

I read your blog and, through fleshbot and twitter, have discovered many other sex-positive blogs. My favorites are Easily Aroused for his stunning writing, AAG (you!) and Violet Blue for your mix of personal experiences and sex-positiveness/cool stuff, and badbadgirlx for her touching personal writing. I also have a blog I’ve been trying to get off the ground… a work in progress. chasingthemoonlight.blogspot.com

Three cheers, because I also hate the partial feeds. I do click through, but only if I’m sitting down and determined to catch up on ALL my feeds. On an everyday basis, the partial feeds are the last ones I’m likely to read.

The splog issue seems like a tricky one, but I do hope that people can at least give a partial feed rather than a headline or one-liner. If that’s enough of a tease, I’m much more likely to click through than if it’s just a headline.

As for blogs, me please? I’m a stripper and sex nerd, and most of what I write about is sex, porn, and sex work, along with some gender stuff and random other things that cross my mind. I’d love to be in your feed. (And yes, I have full posts enabled for RSS.)

You’re already in there! :) –aag

Mine. I’ve been an avid reader for about a year now and my blog mostly focuses on individual sexuality and individual sex practices (ie. wanking it). Plus I wrote that awesome story for your contest (that I lost, but whatever). I know I haven’t been around much lately, but that’s because I moved 6 time zones forward and am having a rough time acclimating.

Seconding the splog problem as why I don’t publish full feeds, and will not ever again so long as content-scraping remains possible. It’s not a matter of “teasing” anyone – and if anyone thinks their blog is too small to be scraped, think again. The one I torched post-divorce had an average daily readership of about 10 (It was meant for friends, and that’s pretty much who read it.), but after using a plug-in designed to sniff out content theft, I found my entire 4 years’ work on three splogs. It was seriously creepy in a way that’s hard to describe.

If preventing that costs me readers, I regret it a little, but I feel like anyone not interested enough in what I write to click once to read it, isn’t really interested at all.

It’s not about reeling in hits. I like the stats information. And I like my quiet little corner. (Relatively: 120+ hits per day, which is a lot as far as I’m concerned, and certainly fine by me). If people want to read what I write, they will, regardless of what gets published in a feed (and it’ll never be more than that first paragraph).

*shrug* Works for me.
