I need help finding the rss url of my website, which can be found below in signature.

I'm not too familiar with rss feeds other than it's good to submit it to many directories.

Hi Abct,

You can find the RSS feed URL of any RSS-capable site by clicking the RSS button at the end of the address bar (in firefox) or on the main toolbar (in internet explorer 8)

Or you just just add feed/ at the end of the url in your signature. I'd put in your entire RSS feed URL here but I am not yet allowed to post URLs

Hope that helps

Thank you... so if I'm not mistaken, it's simply my site with /feed at the end of it.

When I click on this link, it brings me to a page that has my blog postings in a big long mess... is it supposed to look like this, or will it display properly when I submit it to RSS directories?

That's a pretty normal looking rss feed. There isn't much html you can use on an xml sheet. (eg rss.xml, the file extension) You have to use double breaks for paragraphs, anchor tags will work. Can't use css either.

Bottom sig site has a feed that includes full articles. Click on the rss icon in the header to get it. Except for the full articles it looks much like yours. A really good feed validator is Feed Validator for Atom and RSS It is always worth running a feed through one. If there is something wrong it will let you know and throw a few clues your way about what it is.

Now that you know the URL for your feed you can upload a rss icon and link it to your feed to make it easy for visitors to click on.

best wishes, lloyd

You can also take your URL of website or any of the articles and run them through
HTML to RSS Feed Creator and Aggregator, easily create rss feeds by Peter Drew after you sign up.
Same links get a different URL that you can resubmit to the same sites.

One other thing you should consider would be using Feedburner to manage your feed. You can add the feedburner plugin to your wordpress install and it will auto redirect all requests to feedburner. That way you can track subscriptions, offer e-mail subscriptions, and integrate adsense ads into your feed if you want to. You get a lot more out of feedburner than just the default feed on your site.

html to rss reader & aggregator is a great utility for newbie to rss.

If you are talking about Wordpres blogs then just add /feed to your URL and that is your feed address.

If my site is ASPX or PHP based then what is my Feed URL?

Lloyd Buchinski

This is the whole url of your feed. http://thewildgreen.com/feed/

You can ping that any time you add something to it. You can also enter that url into the validator I posted above. It will find your feed with it and comment on it.

Different sites will have different urls for their feeds but don't know if you have a lot of choice with wordpress. My feeds are typically domain.com/rss.xml including on a php site.

The .xml file extension just gives you a very simple basic text display. Probably Atom has another one but I've never heard of doing one in php or asp. It really doesn't matter if the rest of the site uses it.

Edit: I just put that url in the validator and it passed it, showed a "valid rss" button but had a few comments about parts of the code that can be improved. But basically it is working.

Lloyd, how did you get the feed address, I check the website and could not find it?

Lloyd Buchinski

When you go to a site with FF (and ie too probably), if it has a feed you will see a little rss icon on the right side of the browser address bar. It is linked to your feed. Just click on that and it will open the feed and the feed's url will be in the address bar.

Usually you do see an icon on a site with a feed but this one was faster so I didn't look around for it (or a link or whatever) on the site. I don't do much with blogs so don't know just how to get to the feed through your Admin, if you happen to want to muck around with it. (I tend to have a handyman do it yourself type of attitude.)

But have fun poking around. Back up as much as you can so you can reinstall and poke around some more if you have to.

Edit: I looked and found the link to your rss in the white bar just below the nav bar. It has 2 links that only show on hover. One is for free recipe ebooks, the other is RSS.

PS, kind of enjoyed spending a little time on your site. Visually it is quite a slick theme and the ads also look really good. I also like the way the text is displayed, just simple, quiet and matter of fact.

I tend to just use simple quick loading pages but am slowly getting the impression I should move to something a little more attractive.

If you look at your source code (press ctrl + u) the eighth line down (not counting the blank line) also has the url for your rss feed.
