Blogger Pro now has RSS.

Let's all request that Ev make this a free Blogger feature, as having lots of RSS around is of even greater benefit to the overall community than to any individual writer. (Not that I should really talk, as this Wiki only has RSS when Les Orchard keeps his scraper running! But part of my rationalization is "hey, even Blogger doesn't have RSS".)

• Ev responds re cost of publishing RSS plus potential loss of Blogger Pro revenue. A suggestion: to cut some of the volume of updates, what about a model where free sites just get updated once per day? That might not be enough for obsessed readers, but at least the stuff would get into the flow, and that might help bootstrap the idea in a way that increases demand for realtime Pro updating...
