Remind HN: RSS alternate link on your blog
1 comments
I was clued into this when running a woorank report on my website, and it didn't recognize our blog (even though we had an RSS feed at /blog). Adding this bit gave us the "green light", and also showed an RSS icon in Firefox and Safari.
I think this might also allow someone to type in your base URL into Google Reader, and it will pick it up.

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="YourBlog - RSS" href="http://example.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss" />
This helps people subscribe to your feed and share that post.
