> A blog is nice for readers who'd like to follow your thoughts without having to poll your website (thanks to RSS).

I guess if you have some external site host the RSS feed. Otherwise, how do the readers avoid polling your website?

By polling I meant having to remember to visit the website manually.

Of course, the RSS client itself will poll the website.

The RSS reader will do that for them.

If the loose collection of simple pages is updated relatively infrequently, you could simply manually update the RSS file as well, so people can still track updates easily.
