I had this idea yesterday.. since I don’t really have a way to know who is reading this blog regularly and/or subscribed to my Atom (or RSS) feed:
- web server logs are not that useful
- I’m guessing a few people are reading this on a planet site
- some people have no idea what an Atom feed or a planet is
.. please leave a comment and a link to your site.
It’s kinda like the poor man’s version of “if you like this blog, check out their blogs”… cross-pollinate (-:
Doing a quick “grep | awk.. | wc -l” for unique hosts that requested my Atom feed today (in the last ~11 hours).. I get: 56, but I suspect there are less (human) frequent readers than 56.
Woef!
I read your blog via CLUG Park. When a blog is in CLUG park, then I don’t make a subscription, since I read everything on CLUG Park.
Moo!
Why not use feedburner? There’s a nice plugin for WordPress too. Yes, you’re still not going to know who exactly reads your blog, but you’ll get some nice stats.
Hey Nick
I often get XML validation errors from Feedburner feeds. I don’t like hosted services in general. I like to have everything on my server, just the way I like it.
Trying to know the unknowable I see…

I have clug park planet added to google reader and get it that way. ciao
Maybe mybloglog.com would be a little helpful - at least you can see which other bloggers are reading your blog.
miaouw!
