The problem over here is that your one RSS url gets lost in other 15 rss urls added to rss aggregator.

So you ask yourself a question.Is there a way to reach user's desktop directly without any hinderances.

Yes there is.

1)Give user options : Not every user uses a rss reader nor does every user has guts to give away his email if on each and every newsletter signup form due to fear of spam. Best you can do is give user an option to signup at your blog and be notified of each and every post.With this you must also allow user to add rss feed autmatically to his reader.

2)Stay on user's desktop : With Blog reader solutions like Blog Exprss you can now get undivided attention of user by staying at user's desktop and giving him/her latest update without hinderance of ip blockers or spam filters.

· Read through threads that were started within last few weeks. If it’s really busy board, you may not have to read that far back, just be sure you get a feel for climate of board. Don't consider posting anything until you've at least done that.

· If you have a specific question, find search feature and use it. More than likely you will find answer to your question. If your question involves trends or a timely issue, consider what you found in archives, learn from it, and then reframe your question so you get answers that are more current.

· NEVER, NEVER, NEVER advertise unless section of board you are posting in is specifically for advertising. Often there is a section reserved for advertising, look for that section and if it doesn’t exist, then you cannot advertise on that board.

· Using a sig line with your name is normally okay, however, it's best to check rules and guidelines for posting before using one.

· Always remember, it's better to say nothing than to say something mean.

· And along those lines, if someone says something mean about you and you feel you must defend yourself, do not do so immediately. Write what you want to say in a text document on your own computer (not on messageboard) and wait until next day to read it. Sugar is always better than vinegar. If you run a business, consider that your customers may happen across messageboard and you wouldn't want your company name immortalized by something you said in a tiff. Actually, you might find it would be petty to even respond, be bigger person.

Now that you know there are rules and courtesies to consider, go out and find a messageboard that discusses a topic that interests you. Enjoy and learn from diversity you’ll find there, just remember to play nicely.
