I subscribed to FeedBurner just a couple of days after launching this blog back in January. As usual, the more contents I wrote, the more people subscribed to my feeds. For example, here are the stats taken from the report of June 8th which summarize the items viewed and the clicks for each item:

These stats reveal the fact that many of my subscribers actually like more slides and videos than normal posts / articles. Maybe they see my blog as a resource aggregator rather than a web development blog in the real sense of the term. My fault. Anyway, this is something that needs to be taken into account very seriously, because it reflects the difference in the point of view of an author and his/her readers.
thanks for that awesome information blog..
