Freshen Up Your Blog with RSS Feed - HOWTO

Have you ever seen Feeders in other bloggers' blogs? We can also create feeder for our own use. The benefit we can see from the feeder or RSS feed is especially great if we have a lot of blogs. We can feed data from one blog to another. So, when visitors come to read our blog, they will just surf through out our blog networks and spend some more time to read more of our articles, posts, etc. from our related blogs.

One way to give our blog a Feeding capability is through FeedBurner. We will walk together and add RSS Feed capability to our blog. So, please follow the steps below.

1. Goto http://www.feedburner.com and input the blog we want to have RSS Feed on it. For example, supposed I want to have an RSS Feeder from the blog http://icejung.blogspot.com
So put your blog url in the box provided as the following picture. Click Next>> button.

2. FeedBurner will convert our blog into RSS Feed. After finished, we need to copy only URL RSS which in the picture below is http://icejung.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss


3. After we copy the RSS Feed url, we will get to our blog that we need to add RSS Feed data. For this example, I will use my another blog http://kidsafeandfun.blogspot.com/ as a test drive blog. So, we will login to that blog first. After login goto the tab Layou => Page Elements and click Add a Page Element.

4. It will show the popup dialog. At the Feed section, click Add to Blog.

5. It will show the popup dialog Configuring Feed. Paste your RSS Feed url in the available box. Click Continue and Save Changes consecutively.


6. After that you can view your blog, you will see that the information from the RSS Feeder blog will appear on the blog you specify. The feed data will be update as soon as you modify your RSS Feeder's blog. This ways, you don't need to copy link or work on anything. See the example below on the RHS (right hand side).


So, how does it work? Can you follow? If not, work on yourself! :P Or you can ask me on this blog. As soon as I see your posts, I am more than happy to solve it out. Please also comment, write, or refer me to any other similar useful techniques. So that we can share these great resources together.
