My use of RSS feeds is with Firefox's "live bookmarks", to notify me when there is new content on a blog or podcast that I follow. Mostly podcasts; yours is the only blog that I really actually follow much.

So the podcasts don't have a comments section I guess, and I don't really know how most blogs' RSS feeds are set up, though I have my website set up to push out notifications for both new blog entries and comments, as well as new pages and page changes. I am using dokuwiki for my CMS though, and that's just kind of how it works out of the box.

I recall that when I was subscribed to your RSS feed, that I was seeing notifications for each of your new blog entries, but I was missing a lot of interesting content in the comments and photo album, as they weren't pushing notifications into the feed. That's why I went back to just checking the page manually (and had forgotten about the photo album until this blog post, lol).

Personally, I don't use an aggregator or RSS reader or anything like that though. I don't actually read the content within the RSS, just the titles. I just use it for new content notifications, and then I go to the page linked to in the feed entry and read it (or listen) in the browser like normal.
