Content is key, when that's right everything else will follow. In terms of understanding the medium, the last thing I want to do is sign up to a new feed if I'm already subscribed. Doesn't really matter in this case now seeing as the plugin seems to have handled things if the sudden burst of old posts in my RSS reader is anything to go by. In my case I'm using my blog as an educational and resource tool for myself rather than as a PR vehicle.

The whole point of RSS is to make subscribing to your blog painless and effort-free. Who cares how many people read your blog?
