Sometimes, it’s just simple stuff that we want to know. For example, you could be new to the art of blogging (after all, we all have to start somewhere, don’t we?). And one thing that can seem mysterious to novice bloggers is all this stuff about something called ‘RSS’.
First things first. Go to your Dashboard and choose Manage»Files, then look in ‘index.html’. There are loads of things near the top of that file between the <head> and </head> tags. Look for something like this:
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS" href="{bloginfo show='rss2_url'}" />
Important: Make sure that feed link is in your blog’s code. Otherwise, Google Reader or Bloglines (or whichever RSS reader you use) might not be able to use autodiscovery to find the feed at all. If that code is not in your ‘index.html’ file, put it in.
If you just need to give your RSS feed link to other people, it is exactly the same URL as your blog, but with the word ‘feed’ after it, like this:
http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogsome.com/feed/
Your comments feed (yes, people do sometimes subscribe to a comments feed too) will look like this:
http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogsome.com/comments/feed/
