Up until this month I hadn't really paid as much attention to my RSS subscription feed. It was only when I read an article from Darren on ProBlogger that I was motivated to push this aspect of my blog. Btw, I too noticed a definite jump when I had a link posted on ProBlogger by Darren. Even though it was in his speedlinking posts, it definitely helped. Anyways, since then the biggest change I've made is add a "Like this article? Subscribe to my RSS feed." which I see you've already done. At this point what's your next big push to increase your RSS feeds? And please keep up posted on your success, the way you broke it up is what makes it extremely interesting to read! That’s a great analysis!

My blog is quite new still, not even two months, but I've been trying to get my feed readers up. One thing that I found helped a lot was when I started suggesting that readers subscribe to the feed at the end of every post, its amazing what people will do when you ask them.
