So Abraham Piper was telling me how to improve my blog and this one especially caught my eye:

8. Syndicate your whole feed.

If your entire post isn’t in your audience’s feedreaders, many of them will read the first few lines and be done, because they won’t click through.

The whole point of a feedreader is to aggregate many posts so that readers don’t have to go to each individual website. It doesn’t serve them (and can actually come across as self-serving) when a blogger counteracts this.

Ahem.

I apologize for trying to make a few extra bucks at your inconvenience.  I thought if I made you click through, my ad revenue would increase.  But really – the extra dollar or so wasn’t worth being annoying.  Again… so sorry.

So enjoy the unabbreviated Natural Mommy from now on.
