The main reason is because by using Feedburner, I'm able to automatically add all those sharing links you see at the bottom of the feedburner feed - to sites like stumbleupon, del.icio.us, reddit, technorati and whatnot.

The best part is, I'm fairly certain now that I can slip PW ads into the feed, and that makes everyone happy. Well, me mostly, but since it means I'm keeping the image in the feed rather than cutting it down to just a link, there's a little bit of goodness to go around. :P

As an aside - be sure to check the rantspace on Monday. Big announcement. :)

See, like people said - yes, FeedBurner does allow for Google ads, which sounds all well and good, but then I find out that those ads ONLY show on the feedburner "site". This is different from the feed itself - it doesn't inline that code into the feed at all. And it doesn't look like it will any time soon, either.

And a quick aside - I know a lot of you let me know that I can just change the feed to being a link of the comic rather than the image itself. I know that, but I really dig the idea of the image being in the post... as long as I can still get my due from it. This way, I'll be able to have my cake and eat it too.

First, and this is mainly for those of your reading on your RSS feeds, I just wanted to note that I found a small cache of Silhouette Shirt Ninja T-shirts, and that they are available for sale. That... that is all.

Which brings me to RSS. Now, every now and again I get an e-mail from someone asking me to put up an RSS feed, to join the technological future, all that jazz. Which to me, is a bit baffling, since I HAVE an RSS feed. Anyone using Firefox can look up into the address bar and see the little RSS icon that points out that, yes, there is a feed here. Which begs the question - "Greg, why don't you PUBLICIZE that thing?"

The main reason is one of pure economics. RSS is a fantastic technology, but the way it's currently utilized on my site, it's basically on par with the comic-stripping sites that used to scrape my comic and display it on the same page as a whole bunch of other sites. Basically, when you read my comic via RSS right now, it's bypassing the advertising that makes life possible for me. (Though, honestly, with the economy the way it is, it's not really doing THAT very well anyway) I've tried to work some ads in using my ad tools, but I can't find any way to make my ad code work in an RSS feed. I know google has an AdSense for feeds project in beta right now, but closed betas don't really help me much.

Essentially, the MOMENT I'm able to get some kind of ad (preferably one of those smallish block ads, because they're unobtrusive while still having a decent CPM) into the RSS feed, I'll but a nice big giant button at the top of my page proclaiming RSS the lord high king of the internet. And hell - if any of you have some insight into how I can make it work, (without resorting to static images inlined into the feed that would require daily maintenance...yeah, I thought of that.) I would welcome the insight. One thing I'm not is a programmer - I make a decent show of it, for the most part, but I'm far from what you would call "savvy". Because, really - the reason I used to hate those comic scrapers is because nobody would read the rants below the comic. Well, with RSS, that's not an issue any more - but it would be shooting myself in the foot to push it like crazy right now.

Thankfully, the delay at Norfolk was mechanical, so they put us up at the O'Hare Wyndham for the night so we could catch our flight today, but sadly, ALL our luggage was already blasting off towards Austin. Including the laptops.

All's well that ends well enough, though - we're home safe and sound (finally) and all our luggage was in one piece, so I guess I can't complain too much. But on the scale of reasons why there wasn't a comic, this one ranks WAAAY up there. Even higher than me getting drunk. Srsly.

(We're in NC this week on our yearly Forum Getaway, so I've actually been on vacation) I should be better tonight. Or at least, less drunk.
