So I go away for the weekend to come home and find that I’m bleeding readers. At least according to Feedburner I am. Is there something broken with Feedreader? Google buys them and all of a sudden they don’t work well with reader anymore? That would be ironic wouldn’t it.
Seriously. If you are a reader that has stopped reading or is considering it, please let me know why. I’d like to improve here and really can’t without some proper feedback. By proper I mean constructive criticism. Not “you suck.”

Maybe this is related to the damn bloglines bloat today? Couple of hundred extra posts from several months ago from sites I read every day…
You might be getting some backlash from those contentlink hoverover ads in your editorial. I know quite a few people who despise those ads (myself included). I prefer to use RSS to filter and then read most posts on the websites and I find those links interfere with the reading experience.
I’m not so sure that I like the contentlink ads either. The payout is pretty poor so far and they do seem to get in the way a little. Might work good for a few other sites, but they just don’t seem to fit in some places.
Man, it even does it to the comments, I *really* dislike that. I’m not promoting anything in the comment above and yet it makes it look like I am.
At least there should be a way to turn it off in the comments rather than give the impression that commenters are linking stuff they aren’t.
The recaptcha box seems corrupted below … as if the image is being crunched width-wise by the template design. Still readable, sort of.
