I’m just trying to get a better idea of how this site is being accessed ahead of a likely move away from WordPress at some point (to Ghost) and I’ve never known if anyone was still reading via RSS.
Don’t abandon RSS! Are there even any blog engines that don’t have RSS?
Not abandoning it – but will need to work out how not to break the feed too badly when I move platforms
Good to hear it! One of the first considerations when I built my own blogging platform was to keep the same RSS URL’s and format as the wordpress site that preceded it 🙂
I think the problem will be for me that the actually RSS URL will be a WordPress.com one not the domain I map to it..
Ah OK, yep always a risk. As far as I can see it’s currently coming from https://digitalbydefault.com/feed/ – but people may have subscribed to the wordpress url before you got that domain. I can’t actually tell which one i’m subscribed to in feedly!
