Your RSS Reader Is Robbing You(bubbles.town)

Over the past few weeks I've been discovering new blogs on bubbles.town and blogroll.org, and I've been pretty liberal in adding blogs I like to my RSS feed. I'm starting to compile my own blogroll, which has been nice because now every day I have a few posts to read from different writers.
The thing is though, I’ve found that reading exclusively through an RSS feed impacts how you enjoy other people’s blogs. What I mean by that is RSS feeds don’t include any styles so your experience with people’s posts and articles and content is to be based on how your article’s reader chooses to display them.
My question to you is, how much time have you spent customizing your blog? The whole point is to give your blog personality and make something for others to enjoy. When you read exclusively thru an RSS feed, it takes the customization away from you and you don’t get to enjoy the blogs that other people have built, just what they written.
To prove my point a little I’m gonna share some awesome-looking blogs that RSS feeds just don’t do justice:

So my suggestion to you, dear reader, is: don’t read exclusively on your RSS feed app. I’m not telling you to get rid of it because I myself still use an RSS feed. When I come across a post and I start reading it, what I do now is open it in the actual browser so that I can read it the way the writer wanted it to be displayed.
