How about RSS for me
5 December, 2007, 5:04 pm
If you blog already emit a feed. So all you need to do is find it and promote it! Feel free to grab either of these buttons. If you aren’t sure what your feed url is, then look at the instructions below.
Simply right click either of these, and save them to your desktop, then upload them to your own site. Wordpress has a wonderfully easy way to do that and insert images. Go ahead and try it!

Where Do I Find the RSS Feed URL?
In order to have your blog articles sent by email using our Blog Broadcast feature, you need to get a hold of the URL address of the RSS feed of your blog.
This can prove to be a bit difficult without a little guidance. To help you to find this address, we’ve put together the instructions below. If you still have issues finding it, feel free to contact our customer solutions team for assistance.
How to Find Your RSS Address
The easiest way to get the address, no matter what web browser you’re using, is to look at the HTML source of your page.
How you view it in your web browser will differ, but in most browsers, you’ll choose the Page Source or Source option under the View menu near the top of the window.
Once the window appears with the HTML for your page, use the “Find” feature (typically Ctrl-F on a PC, Command-F on a Mac) and search for “RSS” (without the quotes).
You should be taken to a line that reads something like:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
title="Example" href="http://www.aweber.com/blog/feed/" />
The RSS feed’s URL address is found between the quotes after href= . In this case, it would be:
http://www.aweber.com/blog/feed/
Where to Find the Address in Firefox
Alternatively, if you’re using the Firefox browser or have it installed on your computer, you can click on the RSS icon in the toolbar.
You’ll now find the URL address in the toolbar.
