As an extensive consumer of RSS feeds, I really like this idea, and will do my best to join in. (Prompted by this post, I finally got round to making my Friends of Charles Darwin site’s RSS feed more human-readable/friendly, so people who encounter it on the website receive some sort of explanation of what an RSS feed actually is.)

My main problem with following the recommendations of this post (which, apart from using the hashtag, I have already been trying to do lately—although not as much as I’d like) is that many of the RSS feeds I follow are about topics of personal interest from non-personal (often Big Media) websites. I filter these links and mention them in newsletters, Facebook pages, occasional blog posts, tweets and (coming soon) toots. But what I’m really missing from the golden days of blogging/RSS are the personal blogs from individuals with interests in specific topics. Finding these is surprisingly difficult (unless the topic in question is blogging, the Fediverse, etc.). I follow a few specialist blogs about the history of science, nature writing, science, etc., but I wish there were more—and that they were easier to find. Perhaps, if this sort of initiative takes off, they will become easier to find, but where are the blogs of yesteryear?
