Blog advice: Subscribe to yourself

You should subscribe to your own blog.

It's not that weird. In a social media feed, you'd see your own posts. On a blog, you should see what your own posts look like to other people, even if it's just in the one feed reader that you use.

It's a good way to make sure the RSS/Atom version of your posts comes out looking right, the links work and point to the correct posts, the feed works at all, the images load in image-based posts, and so on.

Incidentally, if my posts ever come out terribly broken in your feed reader, please do let me know using that comment link down there (on my page, not in your feed reader).
