Wednesday, 03 February 2010 22:58 Written by Joe Diedericks

RSS feeds are a great way to follow the postings of members you like and also to promote your own postings on various blog aggregators. Let's look at the various ways you can access them.

My RSS feed

To get your RSS feed link you will have to view your own blogging profile on myDigitalLife.

On the right hand side under your profile picture (Avatar) you will see a User menu. You can access your blog profile by clicking on the "My Blogs" link.
This will take you to a page that contains all the postings you have made on myDigitalLife.

Just below the Main Navigation Bar, you will see another row of icons like in the picture below.

By clicking on the "Feed" link, you will be able to view all your postings and add the feed to any RSS reader of your choice.

The link looks something like:

http://www.mydigitallife.co.za/index.php?option=com_myblog&blogger=MyUser&Itemid=29&task=rss
The MyUser part of the URL would contain your User Name.

RSS feeds of other members

You might also want to follow the posting of other members onthe site. To add them to your feed reader is also a simple process.

When reading the blog you will see a posting header as in the picture below. To view the member's blog profile, simply click on the User Name as indicated in green below.

This will take you to the current member's blog postings where you will see the same menu bar as the one we used to find your personal RSS feed.

However, this time when you click on the "Feed" link, it will be the URL of the member you wish to add to your RSS reader.

In this example the URL belong to Dissol and looks liek this:

http://www.mydigitallife.co.za/index.php?option=com_myblog&blogger=Dissol&Itemid=29&task=rss

You can now use the RSS to promote your blog postings and earn more DigiRands. Read the following article if you would like to learn more about promoting your blog.
