How do I create a feed from a blog?


  1. 1.Create a Blogger blog at www.blogger.com.

    Add a couple of posts, for testing purposes.

    You may want to disable
    Comments in your blog.


  2. 2.Go to FeedSweep and enter the feed address of your blog. The feed above uses the Basic FeedSweep option.

    eg The feed address format to enter in
    FeedSweep for a Blogger blog is:
    http://yoursite.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default


  3. 3.FeedSweep also gives you a number of other options that will help you match the look and feel of the feed to your site.


  4. 4.Copy and paste the code generated by FeedSweep into a Web Widget in iWeb 08, or into the HTML editing page of other web editing software packages, such as DreamWeaver.

    If you are using
    iWeb, drag the height of the enclosing box so that it is tall enough to accommodate the maximum number of posts that you specified in your setup.


  5. 5.Publish your site, then add some posts to your blog. Refresh your browser to see the new posts.

    There may be a short delay (a few minutes?) after your blog is published, before it is available to your embedded feed.
