I've been looking for incentives to get people to signup for the RSS, and this is one of the most practical. I have a book that will fit this need perfectly. Very useful post.

And there's nothing wrong with that, either. That is, after all, kinda the point of using a reader. Update: looks like our comments crossed at the same time. :) I didn't change anything. It might just be a mild case of "out of mind, out of sight" if you know what I mean. PS - It's a good thing you put the word deter in quotes, because of course it does nothing of the kind. ;) Some RSS readers really try their best to strip out any kind in in-line formatting so that all you see is exactly how the reader software wants it displayed, rather than how the content author wants it displayed.

I hadn't noticed it before but apparently the above graphic image is now seen in my RSS feed for Remarkablogger but I hadn't seen it before. Perhaps you fixed it or something? It's fine now!

I just realized that I'm not seeing the footer shown above in my RSS feed. I had forgotten all about that and wanted to tell you about it but kept forgetting because I was looking for it. Since I am an RSS subscriber, I figured it'd be there but it isn't. I wonder why? Michael:

Then my heart sank when I saw that a little bit of CSS styling would have to be done to make full use of it. As you can imagine, a lot of us aren't that saavy with that sort of thing. Yes, I know you're available for hire to help with that and that's probably what I'm going to do when I'm ready for it. Meanwhile, I actually found a plug-in that I'm using to "deter" scrapers from stealing my content. It is called "RSS Footer" at: http://www.joostdevalk.nl/wordpress/rss-footer/ Like you said, unless the blogger knows a little about CSS styling, this plug-in is also somewhat limited but it's another option out there.

I didn't mention it was a response to a reader question, but maybe I should have. Glen and Pelf - Doing it this way has actually caused a problem I hadn't foreseen: People who receive only plain text emails don't see it, and I have to send them the ebook as an attachment. I will have to change it to a plainer look. Koka, you’re welcome. I didn’t mention it was a response to a reader question, but maybe I should have.
