It drowns out "real" posts, rendering the feed basically useless (and redundant, as Scott points out). The Links posts have their own feed here at http://www.darcynorman.net/category/links as well as an un-digested raw feed at http://feeds.delicious.com/v2/rss/dnorman?count=15 Asides are still at http://www.darcynorman.net/category/aside I suppose the aggregation of Links onto my blog is mostly for myself anyway - a searchable backup of links stored on delicious.com The überfeed of darcynorman.net - including all posts, links and asides, is at http://www.darcynorman.net/feed/rss/?cat=840%2C1345%2C1289%2C681%2C884%2C749%2C1288 Looking at the RSS feed, I’ve decided the Link-noise isn’t worth it.

Asides are still at http://www.darcynorman.net/category/aside

It's not that I don't like them, it's just the amount. I have your feed in my daily aggregator (Drupal) and I would appreciate it to split off the links category.

It's not my top priority for reading. But when I get time, I have taken a look and learned some things. (Which is usually a good thing.) My vote is for "Much babbling about nothing?."

Posts in that category are not displayed on the front page of the blog, so currently they only show up on the Links category page, in searches, and in the RSS feed. actually... the more I think about it, the more it makes sense for the links to not be in the main RSS feed - there's already an rss feed for my del.icio.us account, so it's redundant.

You could consider just doing them as part of your post stream but giving them a slightly different design. Doug Bowman does a nice job of using the Wordpress plugin, <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postalicious/" rel="nofollow">postalicious</a>. You can see it in action on his homepage at http://stopdesign.com/ but then that might not be at all what you're driving at.
