I’ve attempted the Bloggiesta RSS mini-challenge hosted by Puss Reboots<\/a> and have failed.\u00c2\u00a0 Here is what we’re supposed to do:<\/p>\n

  • Check to see if your blog or website has a feed. WordPress has one for the site.\u00c2\u00a0 I also have a feed with feedburner but haven’t done anything with it.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Set up a feed if it doesn’t.<\/li>\n
  • Set up a subscribe by email option. Haven’t figured out how to do this.\u00c2\u00a0 I also installed two different feedburner plug-ins.\u00c2\u00a0 One was recommended by Google and the other was not tested with my version of WordPress.\u00c2\u00a0 Neither worked and I had to deactivate them to get my site looking normal again.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Validate your feed. I know the WordPress feed works because it’s what I use on my Ning pages and Yahoo to know if it’s updating or not.\u00c2\u00a0 Although I don’t have the feedburner address linked anywhere, the current site content did appear when I checked the link.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Put an RSS icon that linked to your feed and another for your email option.\u00c2\u00a0 This involves messing with the code in my sidebar which I’m none to happy about doing on a Sunday at 10:30pm at night.\u00c2\u00a0 It took me months to get my site to say on all my pages that it’s powered by Corgis and have it look right.\u00c2\u00a0 Programming was not my strong suit in my computer classes.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Add the RSS feed to your header so your browser auto-detects the feed.\u00c2\u00a0 Again, more programming.\u00c2\u00a0 Puss Reboots was kind enough to provide the code but I will have to mess with it another time.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span><\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
