How to: Add RSS to Blogspot

Really Simple Syndication feeds or RSS is one of those technologies that makes sense when you think about it, but just isn’t as widely used as it should be.

As a blogger, I too at one time went with Blogspot/Google/Blogger to do my thing. One of the things that made me move to WordPress, and an independent site, was the lack of a simple way to create RSS feeds.

Since then, Blogspot has seen the problem and fixed it. Take the address of the site you want to use and add /atom.xml to the end of the address.

So http://ricksawesomeblog.blogspost.com becomes http://ricksawesomeblog.blogspost.com/atom.xml

Take the new line, insert into your RSS reader and you’re good to go!

The feed for this humble blog is a tiny bit more complicated http://hamell.net/?feed=rss2, but readers are welcomed, and hopefully informed.
