I know you could use partial feeds instead of full feed to force people to visit to get the full post. Personally, I hate partial feeds, they serve a purpose to let you know there is a new post, but don't contain enough of the post to be interesting. I tend to unsubscribe to partial feeds. I notice you use full feeds, did you have any thoughts about using partial feeds yourself? Regards, Ian Hi James,

I do like both MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog for the widgets that show who has visited. I found your blog after I had been a member of mybloglog for a couple of days, it was the westie that did it. In the first days it was easier, I had less blogs that I read and used to visit to read them. Regards, Ian Hi jmb,

So that's why I always show up when you post. I usually click over to the blog if I want to either comment or read the comments which means I click over 90 % of the time. I like people with mybloglog (the idea came from you to join) so I can leave a trail if not a comment and same with those who visit me. I subscribe to you in bloglines, by reader not email.
