Collect Your Blog RSS Feeds

If you don’t blog or have a website that issues updates, you can ignore this step. However, I suspect many people who do blog or maintain a website with dynamic content are looking to send their  web updates to their FaceBook profile and/or Fan Page will want to follow along.

I maintain two separate blogs, Off The Broiler, which is my food website, and Tech Broiler, which is the blog you are currently reading. Each of these blogs has its own RSS feed which contains the links and story summary for each entry in a serialized, syndicated format.

Depending on which blog and web browser software you use, your RSS icon will either show up directly to the right of the URL of the web browser when you’re viewing your blog’s home page or it will be in your administrative settings.

For WordPress.com blogs, the URL is

http://blogname.wordpress.com/feed

For Blogspot, use

http://blogname.blogspot.com/rss.xml

and for TypePad.com use

http://blogname.typepad.com/blogname/rss.xml

Once you’ve collected your RSS feel URLs for each of your blogs or web sites that you want to send into your status updates, paste them into your text file along with your Twitter RSS feed.
