It's when I use something like an RSS reader where all of those dailies (or groups of dailies) now add to the count of total number of updates for a site - and show up as separate articles that I have to click through... <p />It changes my behavior for a site - I begin to treat it much like I do feeds for a news based site - where I might have 20 or 30 new items every time I load up my RSS reader. I browse all of the headlines, click on any few that interest me (invariably missing some good articles), mark all as read, and move on. I guess when I see 3 new entries showing for a more 'personal' site, I give those 3 entries more weight than say, 3 new entries listed on abcnews.com. <p />Lots more to say on this, but I think Dave captures the bulk of it. Just separate 'em out man! To clarify, I have no issue with having “dailies” content appearing inline with regular posts via the web – I agree, the additional content can add deeper context.
