I often use the inbuilt RSS reader in my mail client to subscribe and follow few blogs of interest and at times I come across certain posts which go haywire in my reader.So, my point is how many of you ever tested how your feeds appear in different RSS readers? If you haven't done so yet I think you'd have to immediately put aside whatever you are doing and go test your feeds first. (ofcourse, only after you finish reading my post ;-))
Things to look for when you test:
1. The format of your posts. If you use lot of fancy HTML make sure it is all being displayed "perfectly".
2. If you have an inbuilt form for the user to post comments make sure that it actually works.
I was trying to post comment on Martin's blog through my RSS reader and annoyingly enough it didn't work. Upon submitting the form, it didn't provide me any confirmation and all it returned was an empty page which left me in blue. (now you know who inspired this post)
