How to Set up a RSS Feed for Your Blog

 
One of the most effective ways to improve traffic to your blog: is to distribute your content as a RSS feed. When you create a feed for your blog – a simple, one-time process anyone can do – you triple its effectiveness and desirability. 

What's a RSS?

RSS (most commonly expanded as Really Simple Syndication) is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS

  Ideally, you want people to depend on your regular posts as a useful and enjoyable part of their daily routine.  One of the strongest tips I can give you: Think of them reading your posts when you write, like a newspaper sent to them digital to their email box.

 Your reader wants...

Fast, easily read content that is punchy and to the point.  You have only a few seconds to really capture his attention before he skips over you and moves on to the next item in his RSS feed reader.  Think of this – and you’ll be less inclined to ramble, go off on tangents – or skip writing posts for days at a time altogether.

 If you’ve forgotten how to create an RSS feed, or never bothered to learn – now is the time!

 Below is a Video Tutorial of How to Set Up a RSS Feed.

 

Happy RSS feeding,

RSS feeds are very helpful in getting updates from different blogs of our interest without necessarily visiting each and every blog. I don't see any reason why every bloggers should not use and subscribe to RSS feeds. It saves a lot of time and energy from both the blogger and the blog readers.

John, I think other bloggers don't use RSS feeds is because they really don't understand it. I've tried many different ways to explain it to students/clients but they tend to still be a little confused about it. This why I posted this How to set up RSS feed for blog post.

Looks like it has helped a few people.

Thanks for sharing John.
