Can't please all the people all the time... Thanks Bob, I wish there was a way to offer small and big pictures without using lowsrc and saving two images for everything.

If that chart was any smaller we -- whether via your blog or rss -- would have a hard time getting much from it. The people who are reading your blog surely have fast network connections. That makes larger pictures feasible, and being able to look at them makes larger better. Please don’t make the ‘huge’ pictures smaller.

But the same should be true about browsers. And in reality each browser has a slightly different interpretation of the standards that were set to prevent any differences in the first place. Same goes for RSS. Sure, it would be great if every RSS reader would show everything exactly the same as every other RSS reader. But don't count on it... In theory you are right.

I'm subscribed to a lot of feeds and use the "next" button from google-reader to jump from post to post. This way I always visit the webpage instead of reading the post in a RSS reader. On your point on adjusting your HTML and CSS to make sure posts are viewed correctly in various readers, I would like to say that the responsibility on that point should be with the creators of those readers, not with the web designers/builders. A lot of extra hours are already spent on making sure a site looks good in firefox and internet explorer, it would be almost undoable to do the same for every rss-reader out there! Hi,
