I've found that a lot of blogs do have RSS feeds even if there is no visible link or mention of RSS anywhere on the website. I often just throw the blog URL into the 'add feed' box on The Old Reader, and it turns out there is feed info hidden in there somewhere.
I've noticed that too and try that also. Sometimes the reader does not find anything, but adding
/rss.xml
or/feed/
or something manually to the link does work at times. The inconsistency is also a problem. But some blogs just do not have such a functionality at all, or is not tested (wrong dates, therefore unusable). Its ~~often~~ sometimes an afterthought and inconsistent.
