Should be, but I've found very few that are.

Let's use that list, posted earlier, as an example. I go to jaymancash.com and login and there's a nice little collection of some very handy promo tools right on the main page.
I can't find the RSS.
So I do a search and find in the news where it says:
"Check out Kat's Diary - she updates every day, with a LOT of content. This should do great for you guys - Remember you can use the diary RSS feeds to fit into your own blogs!"

So, I go back to the tools and check out hosted blogs, and click on Kat's. The blog looks alright, but... there's no RSS link/button. None. So I view the source and see some "alternate" links that should load up just fine into an rss reader however, there's no nats code passed.

Now, this is a very long way to go to find the link to the rss feed. Granted, I could maybe get away with linking the blog itself.... however, an rss news reader will not have the NATS cookie stored and since there's no NATS ref code passed... I'll get no sales.

Now, I may have missed stuff, I am not infallible... but it seems to me that this should be much easier.
