Holy RSS Feed, Batman!

I am a big believer in admitting my mistakes, even in a public forum like this. So here goes: As of today, my blog is still missing an RSS feed. There, I said it. I admit to one of the biggest blogging mistakes in the short history of our social networking universe. If this is news to you and you have no idea what RSS is, just trust me—other than copyright infringement, plagiarism or printing outright lies, the lack of an RSS or subscription option is one of the biggest mistakes a blogger can make. RSS allows subscribers to receive blog updates in a special feed that’s sent directly to them, without the need to keep checking the website for a new post. So after all of my rallying against dumb companies that work so hard to attract a potential customer and then do nothing to engage them…I have essentially done the exact same thing. I have made you remember to check my blog page regularly rather than having it coming straight to your RSS feed with weekly updates like every other normal blog out there. (And yes, I know, I am also missing a “Share This” button for Twitter.)
