How to Create a RSS Feed for Blogger

RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it. RSS is a technology that is being used by millions of web users around the world to keep track of their favorite websites.

In this blog I will show you how to create a simple RSS feed for your blog in Blogger.

1. Log into your Blogger Account.

2. Click the “Design” link at your Dashboard


3. “Add a Gadget” at your Gadget Side Bar

4. Choose “Feed” and you will need to enter your blog feed URL



5. To find your blog feed URL, open up a new tab or window, and scroll down to the bottom of your main blog site. You will see Post (Atom) link. Click onto the link and you will see your feed URL. For example on this blog feed URL is http://successnovice.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default



6. Copy your Blog Feed URL and paste it into your “Feed URL” gadget and click “Continue” and SAVE your settings. (Settings are optional, feel free to play with them)




7. Lastly, SAVE all your configurations and you are done with the setting.

 You may encounter your RSS feed post does not appear out onto your blog. You’ll need to refresh your Feed URL everytime you put up a new post through saving your RSS setting in Blogger Feed URL gadget in order for your new content feed to appear immediately in your blog.

 To maximize the RSS feeds in your blog, you can use FeedBurner, which your new content will automatically send into your RSS feeds . In addition, FeedBurner will also increase traffic to your blog or website from indexing into search engines.
