Here is some good advice on how to improve the usability of your RSS newsfeeds.

Common feed publishing errors are a frequent encounter and if you consider adding a RSS feed to your Web site/blog you might want to use this very list as an initial reference RSS usability guide.

Here some initial key items to look out for:

  1. disguised links
  2. too few text
  3. quotations not clearly marked as such
  4. updates not marked as such
  5. too many articles per day
  6. links to access-restricted content not marked as such
  7. nested feeds
  8. confusion between authors and categories

Find out the reason and details for all items listed above, right here, and my own comments here.
