Feed validation
If you are running a blog (or even a website with blog software or an ability to publish RSS feeds) it is probably a good idea to publish an RSS feed. It can be a double edged sword as far as income - right now most feeds can end up delivering your content to the user stripped of your revenue generating opportunities (although that is being developed by several companies), but can also bring you new and more users since they are another way to freely distribute your content. I think it is something you at least have to try. While I don't think feeds are quite the rage they were predicted to be, they are used by tech savvy people and will probably become more common as time goes on. To validate your feed first (before submitting it around - more on that later) visit http://www.feedvalidator.org/.
