4. People should be able to subscribe to my feed with an RSS reader

AFAIK, all of this is currently impossible in G+. So... it's a downgrade for the moment.

This part is an issue with G+ as a whole, more so than just the reader part. Circles allow me to "push" content out to certain users. They don't allow others to "pull" content. I may post many things to G+, some tech things, some just personal photos and stuff. If you add me to a circle in G+ you get everything I push out to you.

If they solve that problem, then they can solve your RSS problem above, since yours RSS subscribers can just follow your "RSS" tagged stuff on G+ and put it in their "RSS" circle I guess.

I guess you /could/ do it if you are OCD about maintaining your circles. You could maintain your own "RSS" circle and make sure to only post stuff to that circle that you would normally share in your reader. Would be a nightmare to maintain that circle though. Simply tagging a post with some categories should enough other people to only follow certain categories from you.

Comment Alternatives? (Score 1) 213

Out of curiosity, what are people using instead? I was looking to upgrade from the old noise xbox about 2 years ago because it couldn't play 720p, so I went with the ps3. It suffers because it can't play mkv but has some conversion tools, but still I find many avi files it can't play. Would definitely be interested in alternative hardware to install XBMC onto other than my xbox, so long as it doesn't require me assembling it myself or any crazy linux installs trying to get hdmi and 3d cards to play nicely.

The reason you are using a CMS is because your client can't edit HTML to save themselves. So bells and whistles of joomla/wordpress never made sense to me.

That's what I like about CushyCMS, usability is not even a question.

Granted, you can't host it yourself, but whatever, it's free.
