RSS link (Patreon)

I actually don't know exactly how RSS feeds work, I've always just used my favorites list.  If anyone wants to explain them as a comment please do.  I'll edit this post so it's in the main part. Anyway, I know that people tend not to notice the links bar on the top of the site, where the RSS link is.  So, here it is.  As far as I know this is all you need to put in to an RSS reader, but I may be wrong.

I wanted to link it here just in case since linking the comic here just won't work with Patreon's current gallery setup, notifications system, etc.

I've been using the RSS feed to read "Between Failures" for ages. and just so you know, when a new item shows up in my reader, I can't actually see the new page. I just get the first couple of sentences of your comment. To view the page, I have to click through to your web site, so whatever ads you have are still getting viewed. With some feeds, I see the actual full content. I'll still see the ads, but I don't know if that counts. and I'm pretty sure that it doesn't count as a page hit. so you shouldn't be losing out on anything by people using the RSS feed. (and yes, that's the URL I've been using.)

I use Newsblur, which is $24 per month, but there's also some free apps you can put right on your computer instead. The nice thing is that most of them generate and read OPML files that have your entire list of feeds, so if you don't like the one you're using you should be able to just move the opml file over and try another one.

I use the Google Chrome addon "Feeder". It's freemium, but the free version just limits how often it can check for new stuff. Once an hour is plenty often for me. RSS is incredibly convenient, IMO.

I've been using bazqux.com since the great Google Reader meltdown, and for $15/year it's completely worth it. It works with my favorite reader app on my iPhone (Feedler), and I've got 6-700 feeds that collect into 22 folders, mostly topic areas plus a few oddballs. For things like comics, where many creators post when they can on irregular schedules, RSS means that I see new postings immediately without having to check a site futilely, wondering if they're dead. For many news sites, I can get an article's full content in Reader mode without having to pull down an extra 100 MB of Flash ads, Javascript failures, and huge high-def graphics that end up being displayed in tiny 64x64 pixel frames. And for the few friends I have who still post on sites other than the Book of Face, I can quickly see their blog/Tumblr/LJ/etc. updates. As far as I'm concerned, RSS is made of win.

To normal user it really is just glorified favourites list. With one significant advantage - computer checks them for you from time to time, and you don't waste your time just to find "nothing new to see here". If you follow 80 or so comics, the saved time can add up to interesting numbers. Especially with comics with irregular or long schedule. Over time I found I just stopped following comics that don't offer usable RSS. On the technical side, it saves bandwidth. Readers just download small XML file (1-2kB), instead of user having to download several megabytes of html + css + images (not to mention ads) and the result is the same. Larger web-based RSS readers (I migrated to theoldreader after google reader did shut down) can also check once and notify all 100 users who have the same site subscribed. Downside is that when comic authors don't know what they are doing, the feeds may just silently stop updating or go dead and I won't notice until several years later. Or they update in wrong way and reader won't recognize there is new content (for example every post would lead to main site, not permalink to particular update). As far as I can tell, you have your RSS magic setup correctly. The xml IS short as it is supposed to be, it only lists several recent posts, not everything since the dawn of history. Even my browser icon that indicates presence of RSS feed lights up on your site, and would allow me to subscribe if I wasn't already. The feed itself works correctly too. Your top link that is supposed to go to RSS on the other hand... At first sight it seems like abandoned paypal donation page, or maybe subscription to "send me comics by e-mail for $$" mailing list, not RSS feed. The real feed is there, but pretty hidden.

I tend to use newsfox or thunderbird :)

This. So very much this. RSS was the only way I could follow very rare-updating comics I liked like Megatokyo. I use Feedly to keep track of my RSS.
