Hiding RSS Feed Count Experiment Results…

Hi all…

Well, when I tried this experiment to hide the RSS feed count on my other major blog, I got a boost of 2 or 3 readers according to FeedBurner.

I now have 9 readers for my Lair of the Green Knight RSS feed, which is more than I’ve had in the past (I tend to hover around 7).

So was this particular experiment a success? Not really. I’m going to leave the count hidden for now, as I don’t think it’ll hurt anything. More than anything else I think having the big RSS feed button in the top right of the blog makes it easier to subscribe than having to hunt for the link further down the blog.

There you have it. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
