WordPress automatically sets up two feeds for you: your posts feed and your comments feed. You have a choice on the posts feed to publish the full text of your post, or a summary. Which do you choose?
Some of your readers may prefer full text feeds, while others prefer a summary. So which group do you defer to? Publishing a summary feed forces people to click through to your site to read the entire post, which of course, helps your traffic stats, but might irk some of your readers. …

You work hard on your content, and it’s really disheartening to see that someone else has stolen it and published it on their site. But, what can you do about it?
These lazy bloggers who steal content from other sites are called scrapers, and they most commonly get your content through your RSS feed and put it on SPAM blogs (called ’splogs’), usually in the hopes of earning income through AdSense installed on the splog.
So, what should you do? Can you stop them?

The timing of your email deliveries can impact your email subscribers’ experience of you and your blog, so it’s a good idea to time your posts to coincide with what you’ve set for email delivery.

If you have a Feedburner account for managing your RSS feeds, it’s time to pack your bags and move over to Google.

Google has owned Feedburner for awhile now, but there’ve been no major changes required or put upon us. Now, however, we have to move our feeds over to Google officially by February 28, 2009, or they’re gonna do it for us. Now, normally, I’d be thinking, “Hmmm…do it myself, or you’ll do it for me? Ok – go ahead – do it for me!” But not this time.

If you’ve been marketing online for any length of time, you’ve heard the adage, “The money’s in the list.” The list is your subscriber mailing list. You know…that list you work so hard to build so that SPAM filters and SPAM laws can make getting a message to your subscribers next to freakin’ impossible? Yeah, that list.

But now, there’s a new subscriber list kid in town: RSS. He’s a square looking dude, all orange and obvious, and he says to your visitors, “Pssst…when there’s new stuff here, I’ll let you know instantly. All ya gotta do is subscribe and it’s yours – hot off the press, no waiting – with NO SPAM in the mix.” And best of all, this little dude is FREE. No monthly fees…for you OR your subscribers.

So now what?
