I have a Wordpress blog on my own domain. In the upper corner is a link for an RSS feed, but after looking out on the Internet and reading all kinds of stuff, I am still not sure how to set this up so that people can use my posts as a "Feed".

Anyone know how to do this?

Is it hard to setup?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Have a Great Day!

    You should simply be able to use yourblog.com/feed
    Or is it something else you are thinking of?

    Creating an RSS feed for a blog is not so difficult.Feedburnerdotcom makes it simple to set up an RSS feed for a blog using the following steps:
    1. Click the "Get Started" link on the Feedburner homepage.
    2. Enter the Wordpress blog URL and click "next."
    3. Follow the prompts to create a URL for the blog's RSS feed and click "next" to create the new RSS feed.
    This process of creating a blog RSS feed takes less than five minutes. Once the RSS feed is created, visit the URL that was selected during the RSS feed creation process. Here, blog visitors can sign up for an RSS feed subscription.

    Well, Yes and No.

    I think I may have figured it out finally.

    RSS has caused me many problems, but I think it is working now. If you look at my blog richard-whyte.com, up in the banner area on the right hand side is a link to sign up for an RSS feed to my posts.

    Before, this was just the name of the blog with a /# after it. In needed to find a way that people could sign up.

    After a bit, I finally found some code from Feedburner to insert as a Plugin and then after setting a few options was able to change the link behind all of this.

    It seems to be working now..... So thanks for the input. Sure would be nice it Wordpress made this simple to do.... Ah well.....

    Have a Great Day!
