As a blog reader, I really like the idea of being able to subscribe to individual categories. It really helps in weeding out the stuff you don't want to read. Great point Tony.

You should mention the full feed/excerpts controversy. For many sites using plugins, there's no choice: you offer on or the other. But doing it manually (or with scripting) lets you offer your readers choice - those who prefer a full article text feed can subscribe to that, and those who prefer extracts can subscribe to the other. You can also easily offer sub-feeds. If you regularly write about a set of different subjects, you can offer feeds for each. You can offer specialized feeds for comments, for paid subscribers and so on. You can really offer a lot to your readers through RSS.

I think it's essential for most static sites to have RSS feeds. For instance, if you have a product catalog on your site, wouldn't it be great if your customers were notified whenever you added new products to your catalog? It will let your customers and search engines know that your site is staying fresh and they should come back often. Great post! I think it's essential for most static sites to have RSS feeds.
