If you have a blog, do you have an RSS feed?

Question

Reading this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42746682#42751194 made me wonder. I've seen quite a few personal pages/blogs without any obvious RSS support. Do people think it's important enough to implement these days?

I do! Admittedly I don't write enough on the blog, but it does have an RSS and Atom feed.I use Jekyll, and it was about the same amount of effort as making a age that lists out all the entries in HTML. For me it was mostly just for funsies, but I do know it gets pretty regular traffic

I implement multiple RSS (and Atom) feeds for different slices of my (EOU) site, eg an RSS feed for the podcast, and a 'lite' RSS feed without music/sonifications for Spotify.

Yes. I read the spec and implemented them on mine. Later, I used that as part of a backup-restore/import-export function.https://github.com/theandrewbailey/gramhttps://theandrewbailey.com/

> without any obvious RSS supportI'm curious if you checked for an auto-discovery link. These are very often present even if the site doesn't have a visible indicator of the feed.

2. I have a blog and it might have RSS due to the framework but I've never checked.
