My website provides hundred of feeds for almost everything on it. I was curious about how popular these feeds are so I dug into my server’s access logs, and with a little command line scripting produced this chart:

  1. Programming posts and notes
  2. Posts
  3. Notes
  4. Posts and notes
  5. Posts tagged Haskell

  7. Linkblog
  8. Blogroll
  9. Changelog
  10. Everything
