@Mr James I was also like that – when I realised I should be viewing my own blogs in my reader I was like DUH. I also regularly check in a range of Web browsers.

@Concordsouthside Good luck with blogging and glad you found the post helpful

I never considered previewing my blog in a reader. I always looked to see how it looked on my blog, but not the tool I use to read blogs. It seems like a no-brainer that I should think of people reading my blog the way I read their blogs, but it never occured to me.

Thanks for the tip!

This is one of the best tips you have given me about blogging, so thanks for that.

As you know, I have just written a post about my experiences of twitter.

I have been trying to write this post for last few days and have been keeping it as a draft. When I finally published it today, it did not appear at the top of my posts but 2/3 posts down the list at the time when I started writing it. Consequently, it has not appeared in my blog feed, Google Reader. So I am concerned that others have not see it either. Any suggestions how I can manage this? Thanks a lot, Sarah

@Michael it must have been scary for those that experienced this problem. I find subscribing to my own feed also notifies me of formatting issues e.g. images in bad locations. Glad your blog is back to normal.

Hey, glad to see I wasn’t alone. I’m the owner of the Not About Tech blog, and I must say it was an interesting experience getting emails from friends asking me why I decided to change the focus of my blog! Thankfully the matter wasn’t a big deal in the end, but I definitely agree that subscribing to one’s own feed is critical, especially if the blog pulls in any revenue. – All the best, Michael
