It just looks bad.
Thank you.

I don’t have a clue how many people subscribe to my blog. I’ve never worried or thought about it.

January 22nd, 2008 at 2:59 pmEven if your blog isn’t business related, I think it’s good to know your feed count to get an idea of how many people are out there reading.
But, maybe that’s just me.
January 28th, 2008 at 12:33 pmYou are right, it’s good to know but you don’t have to make it public.
Still, there’s no reason to “worry” about it unless your income is dependent on it. By worry I mean constantly obsess. Keep it in mind, yes, use feedburner, yes, but there’s no reason to focus on that more than the actual blog.
