step by step guide to put feeds in your blog

These days people like to read the blogs from their rss reader. So adding feeds in your blog is very important. Feeds also work for indexing as blog and ping method is becoming very popular.

If you are using blogger, your blog feed is available in the settings. Click on the site feed named tab under settings, and copy your feed. You will need for making you are “my yahoo” and “my google” buttons.

I will use this website http://www.feedburner.com for adding feeds in your website.

feed for your blog

In this website simply click register on top and get yourself registered. This is a free service and registration is absolutely free. Once you get registered you get an account.

Then logon to that account. You will be taken to your profile page. There is a "my feeds" link on the top of the page. You can use that to go to your profile page.

Click on any existing feeds or a new feed on your profile page, and you will be taken to the feeds dashboard page. There you can do a lot of thing. Just click on the top tab promote. there you will see "chicklet chooser". That will help you to make your "my yahoo" and "my google" etc feed button. Just click on the radio button besides every button, you will get the code on the bottom of the page. Just copy the code and paste it on your blog. Remember to paste those codes on the side bar of your blog, looks good.
