Stop Publishing Your Email Address in Your RSS Feed

Everyday I see Blogger users publish their full email addresses with "@" symbols in their blogs' RSS feed. While there is nothing inherently wrong about publishing your email address, it isn't a good practice if you're trying to avoid an inundation of spam everyday. Publishing your full email address in your blog's RSS feed makes it easy for bots to pick-up your email address and put it on a spam list. Unfortunately, by default Blogger publishes your email address in your RSS feed. Fortunately, it's an easy change to make. To stop publishing your email address in your Blogger blog's RSS feed simply login to your Blogger profile and select "edit profile." Then uncheck the box that reads "publish my email address."
