If your just going to use the days date, it kinda defeats the purpose of RSS + posts are already dated. Date titles are boring, plus there's a rule somewhere that states that date titles are reserved only for those people who need to keep track of the passage of time. eg persons in solitary or those marooned on a desert island.

The old way I was blogging was far to intermitant. In a couple of years, if I look backat my posts, I wouldn't really get a good idea of what was going on in my life at the time. The desert Island comment is a fair comment. I've been distant letely. I'm sorry. I have my reasons (believe me its nothing you've done).
