Subscibe!!
Yesterday, Dave Winer pointed out the problem caused by more and more online RSS aggregators advising sites to include "Subscribe with $aggregator!!" icons on their sites (see my "Sub | Bloglines" and "LJ Friend" icons on the right) to get more subscribers — there comes a point when you just can't sensibly include that many buttons.
Luckily, Aquarion (of ESF fame) has first designed and then gone and coded a solution. The result is called SubscribeMe, and this is my SubscribeMe link
Do let me know how it works with your favourite aggregator!

Those who prefer a locally-hosted solution might want to take a look at quickSub.

quickSub looks pretty nifty -- I'll probably look at having that or SubscribeMe in my sidebar instead of the bloglines/LJ buttons some time after my exams are done...
Thanks for stopping by!
