This might have been fine in the days before auto discovery and browsers knowing what to do with feeds and you had to copy and paste the address in, but now most people are learning to click on the little orange feed icon and as soon as they do that, they're off your server. MyBrand is exactly what I want, but I'd rather not pay even the £2.99 they're asking. Maybe if I were making money on my blog I would, but my server hosting cost more than enough already, thankyou!
