RSS is a type of web feed used to publish frequently updated content and is especially useful for bloggers. Your readers can use a wide variety of feed readers to subscribe to your RSS feed.
Both you and your readers will benefit from it. Firstly, your readers need not check your blog daily to see if there are new entries. If they have subscribed to your feed, the reader which they used will notify them of the new entry. And you will not need to worry that your readers will miss out on anything. However, RSS feeds are not updated regularly. So, you may need to check if the latest feed is the latest entry of the blog.
It will be nice to check out the blog occasionally and support the blog's sponsors. Some bloggers provide full feed while some don't. I provide full feed for my readers. Most readers like full feeds as they will be able to read directly from their feed readers.
You can try experimenting with full and partial feed and see which works for you. Partial feeds might increase your blog's traffic as your readers need to access your blog to read the entire entry. If you are looking for something to manage your feed, try FeedBurner. It is free to use and is user-friendly.
How has RSS feeds work for you? And do you provide a full or partial feed?
