Love the feed, but having 'Usability in the News' at the beginning of every post title makes the title less usable. It seems uneccesary. Why not: 'UitN: Post title' or just 'post title'?
Thanks Alex,
I don't think that Usability In The News is in front of each post. I wonder if you are looking at it on a Feed Reader and that the Feed Reader is adding that?
I am not going to use the top scroll bar, I like to see everything in menus and have minimal amount of gizmos to drag or push to see things.
Thanks Jon,
I wonder if anyone else feels the same way?
I don't think I'll use the list at the top either.. I'll continue to click my scroll button and let the page scroll down. I can scroll quite fast and still read the headlines and additionally interesting phrases in the excerpts will catch my eye.
However I'm completely in support of experimenting with this kind of thing, please keep it up! Something I'd like to see is an easier way to look back at the archives -- at present the bottom of the page tells me to scroll back up to the top to find the archive links. Maybe they could be repeated at the bottom of the right column of something?

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the observations.
You know, the reason I added the scroll box was that I read an article about providing titles only at the top. Some people don't want to scroll though the whole page. But you may be right.
I agree with you on the archiving. This blog is with blogger.com and they just don't have anything else right now. Also, notice that there is no NEXT or PREVIOUS button at the bottom which should go into the archives.
Also, they don't have a way to show weeks for the current year and months for previous years. So I am living with archiving by weeks because a month would take so long to load.
I have made recommendations to Blogger and hope they implement some of them.
I use a feed reader too (Bloglines), so the only feedback that I can bring is about the content. And it's wonderful :)
