Adding the RSS feed is a great step and thanks for being so responsive with that. If you want to take things further, consider making the feed a full feed - especially for PR stuff - so people don't have to click over to read MinnPost.com's PR messages. It's kind of insulting to force people to click to read PR stuff. Ideally, there should be feeds by topic, author, and customized feeds generated by custom search results. For example, if a person is only interested in reading content that mentions Edina ,they should be able to subscribe to just that content. Good luck with the roll-out. Matt, thanks for commenting and clarifying.
