Bloggers and newsletter peeps, I beg you, make your RSS feeds *easier* to find by having them be links on your website, especially on mobile. I am a lazy person, so having to hit share, and then my RSS reader app is sometimes a lot of work VS just double tapping on an RSS link. Also, sometimes, my RSS reader can't find your RSS feed. I *want* to follow you, but not by email. I use email for communication. #RSS #WebDev #Newsletter

I'm not sure why, but there are so many websites now that still have RSS feeds but no longer show links to them.

It used to be so common to link to your site's RSS, I wonder why they disappeared? Is it people trying to drive their socials follower numbers up by hiding other options?

@FediThing That, yes! But I also think that it also involves newsletter followers too, moreso newsletters,, but I do think people just don't understand there are people such as myself that love---and use---RSS feeds. Like on my website, it's plastered everywhere! :) I only offer an email option because not everyone uses RSS.

Sometimes a website is run by a dumb-dumb like me who doesn't know all the features. The original post had me check. Yep, Shopify's built-in blog function does have a RSS feed. It's not advertised anywhere, so I just used rsslookup.com on my own website... But we now have a RSS link at the bottom of each page!
