So, I end up collecting new RSS feeds because they&#8217;ve been linked from one of my current feeds, or because they&#8217;re on the blogroll of a feed.  I don&#8217;t always stick with them in the long term though.  So, it&#8217;d be nice if an RSS reader could package up this behaviour somehow.  Maybe you&#8217;d have a &#8220;Suggest five new feeds for me&#8221; feature?  But an automated system would require metadata on each blog page to direct you to the RSS feed for that blog.  This would let a program chase links between blogs and get to the RSS easily.  I don&#8217;t know if that meta-information exists today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Robertson blogs about the way which his RSS reader has changed the way he consumes information.
