@cliffle I had a silly idea a while ago to put basic auth on my blog, with the user/pass written in plaintext somewhere else, like in my social bio or something like that. The idea being that scrapers are not going to bother to use the info from my bio on my blog page. What do you think? You can still RSS the page titles and maybe a paragraph or two without auth.

@caleb maybe? My RSS feed already doesn't contain the full content, mostly to save me bandwidth (but also because RSS readers kept mangling the formatting of my code examples). I'd have to think through the accessibility implications.
