How Do I Find The RSS Feed For MY Blog?

The basic RSS feed for your blog can be found right in your browser window while you are looking at your blog.

Looking at your blog? Good - Now, look up at the address in the browser right now... see the orange RSS icon? Click it and you will be taken to a window with what your current feed will look like, and the address in the browser is your RSS feed address. A simple copy/paste is all you need to get started with RSS.

There are programs out there that make syndication of your RSS feed even more cool. FeedBurner.com has some amazing features, among them is the ability to allow your blog readers to sign up to get your posts by email. This works like this.... a reader signs up for your email RSS, you publish a new post, Feedburner picks up this change in your RSS and emails all of your subscribers a copy of your post (or a summary... your choice). Feedburner also tracks subscriber counts and stats as well as MANY other handy features. Now, this is just a very basic description of how all this works. Naturally, it can get much more involved than this =)

However, right now all we are concerned with is learning how to get that RSS address onto YOUR Squidoo lenses....
