How Do I Create a RSS Feed From My Wordpress Blog ?

[jimkirk1943]

Hi Guys,
i should really know this but i cannot seem to see how to create a RSS feed from my wordpress blog that i can copy and paste into say `feedage` or any other site.

I used to use squidoo alot before i started my first wordpress blog and on squidoo you just go onto you homepage click the RSS tab and it gives you a RSS feed in the URL which you copy and go paste into which ever site you wish.
Can anybody tell me what to do PLS !!

Go to Feedburner.Google.Com and log in with your Gmail ID.

You can create RSS by entering your blog url in the box they give and then following the further instructions.

*Drum roll*

You've got RSS feed for your blog now

it's build into wordpress already:

try these urls (replace example with your domain)
http://example.com/wp-rss.php
http://example.com/wp-rss2.php
http://example.com/wp-rdf.php
http://example.com/wp-atom.php

If you use permalinks:

http://example.com/feed/
http://example.com/feed/rss/
http://example.com/feed/rss2/
http://example.com/feed/rdf/

Jim your blog creates it for you. All you need to do is grab it and plug it into your reader or give it to feedburner to create a feedburner version of it for tracking purposes

wordpress blogs are usually in this format

www.yoursite.com/feed

Hi Guys,
So let me get this right .. I actually went to feedage and typed in </title> <atom:link href="http://www.thebest-creatine.com/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" /> <link>http://www.thebest-creatine.com</link> <description></description> <lastBuildDate>Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:08:33 +0000</lastBuildDate> <generat and the site took it, So is this my RSS url which i type into any RSS sites i want to add my blog to ??

Also i went to feedburner.google.com added the site url and it gave my this ..RSS 2.0: </title> <atom:link href="http://www.thebest-creatine.com/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" /> <link>http://www.thebest-creatine.com</link> <description></description> <lastBuildDate>Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:08:33 +0000</lastBuildDate> <generat which i`m guessing is the same as above (it actually gave me 4 to pick but i left it at the first one) the others are..

RSS .92: </title> <link>http://www.thebest-creatine.com</link> <description></description> <lastBuildDate>Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:08:33 +0000</lastBuildDate> <docs>http://backend.userland.com/rss092</docs> <language>en</language> <item> <title>The Best Nitric Oxi

Atom 0.3: http://www.thebest-creatine.com/feed/atom/

10 Best Creatine Powders Comments Feed: </title> <atom:link href="http://www.thebest-creatine.com/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" /> <link>http://www.thebest-creatine.com</link> <description></description> <lastBuildDate>Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:08:33 +0000</lastBuildDate> <generat

The last one is a actual post on my blog which is more confusing

But going back to feedburner.google ,after adding the the site url choosing </title> <atom:link href="http://www.thebest-creatine.com/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" /> <link>http://www.thebest-creatine.com</link> <description></description> <lastBuildDate>Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:08:33 +0000</lastBuildDate> <generat, clicking next it takes me to a page asking for Title feed ?? So i just put Best Creatine and it also asks me for Feed address ? I tryed loads of diffrent things in feed address but it wouldn`t take any of them ..what the heck i do put here ??

Do i really need to mess around with feedburner.google or do i simply have what i`m looking for in </title> <atom:link href="http://www.thebest-creatine.com/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" /> <link>http://www.thebest-creatine.com</link> <description></description> <lastBuildDate>Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:08:33 +0000</lastBuildDate> <generat ??

What about when i add a new post to my blog how do i know what the RSS is ??

Wow i never thought it would be this complicated (or am i just over complicating things) i dont actually know if a new post even has a seperate RSS or if my blog only has 1 which is </title> <atom:link href="http://www.thebest-creatine.com/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" /> <link>http://www.thebest-creatine.com</link> <description></description> <lastBuildDate>Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:08:33 +0000</lastBuildDate> <generat.

Sorry if i sound stupid here but any help would be so appreciated !!
Thanks Jim

Wow sorry about the above post everythings going wrong !!

In wordpress in your readings settings' section there are entries for:

Syndication feeds show
the most recent posts For each article in a feed,
show For each article in a feed,

show
Full text
Summary


Just choose what you want.

You always use the same main rss feed url and these settings determine what goes into it.

[SteveJohnson]

When you put a url into a post, the forum software tries to parse it.

Your feed address, http:// www thebest-creatine com /feed/ is correct and it is working.

That address shows all of your latest posts (up to the number you've chosen to publish in your dashboard).

There is no feed address for 'a new post'. A feed reader, such as Google Reader, monitors on a feed-by-feed basis what you've read and what you've not read, and a slew of other things depending on the reader's features. It periodically polls your feed address, and displays new posts that you haven't seen yet.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the reply can i just ask..

Am i right in thinking i only have 1 feed per blog in this case its.. www . thebest-creatine.com /feed /

Once i have added this to a RSS site say Feedage.com thats it i`ve finished ??

I dont get a new RSS url each time i post a new article ?

I dont go back to Feedage.com and reload the RSS ?? I just add it the one time and thats it ??

I mean i read in a bloggling guide that i should `broadcast` my article to RSS directories EACH time i post a new article ?? What does this mean then ?

Thank for all your time and help...Jim

Go to Settings -> Writing and go to the bottom and you find "Update Services". Input some ping directories and it will automatically broadcast your new article once you published it.
