Don't get me wrong, I love feeds. I use feedreaders to keep up on all of the intriguing things you type, and I can tell that a whole bunch of you, in turn, use feedreaders to visit my site. (I am a loyal Feedburner customer and it tells me so.)
All that said, I miss your actual blogs. This talk of widgets has me realizing that I miss the aesthetic of your sites, especially those of you with swank design and sidebar curiosities. So many of you have delightfully interesting links and photos that you can't/don't syndicate. Your feeds also tend to leave out your book and music recommendations. Harumph.
So, I figure it is time I dropped by. No need to leave out any snacks or anything. You'll hardly notice me. Just thought I would let you know I would be coming by tomorrow to check stuff out.
