RSS Feeds
Users of Blogger can include an RSS feed of their entries - yes? There are a few blogs I read that use Blogger and I'd visit them more often but they don't have an RSS feed. I tend to forget about these blogs because they're buried in my bookmarks. I subscribe to almost 100 blogs that show up in my aggregator whenever they're updated. Having that RSS feed helps to keep me informed whenever a blog has a new entry. I've little time and no patience for sifting through bookmarks. Since time is limited, my aggregator and your RSS feed guarantee that I see those updates.
If you don't have your blog enabled with a feed, I suggest you do so. I realize that some people don't want their entire blog post showing up in an aggregator, and there is a way to tag it so that only an excerpt appears. I'd like to continue reading these blogs but they're losing my attention because that feed isn't enabled.

Kat - yes, yours is fully enabled w/excerpts.
Zoe - I know you have trouble with that. I am sure there is a way to tag the file so only an excerpt appears and not your entire post.

I have some sort of scripty doohickey that can do Zoe's site. I'll see if I can find the wretched thing again. It was a pain to set up but it worked flawlessly until I started fiddling with something else and broke my aggregator...
