I have a new program which I want to use however I need to know the URL of the RSS feed for that blog I want to follow. If I am not the owner of the blog how can I go about finding the RSS feed url for that particular blog?

    Does it have a little RSS or XML icon?

    Right click it to get the properties of it, including the URL it's linked to.

    Cheers,

    Neil

    I'm not as knowledgeable about RSS as I'd like to be but:

    AFAIK if you view a site in firefox and it has an RSS feed, the browser will detect it and there will be a little RSS feed button in the address bar

    Hi Sean

    It doesn't need to end in .xml or .rss as long as it produces XML with the RSS structure.

    For example, a .php script could produce an RSS feed and your RSS reader would happily accept the URL of the script.

    Cheers,
