Added Blogline Feed to my Blog

[Amy]

I forgot to post here that I have added feeds to my blog for anyone who would like to subscribe.

 

If you wish to do so through bloglines, here is the link:

I also signed up for a blog feed through FeedBurner, but I haven't used this service, so I'm not sure I did it correctly:

 

http://feeds.feedburner.com/CatsInMyCraftBasket

 

If you try either of these feeds and they don't seem to be working properly, please let me know so I can fix them. I was very new to the whole feed concept when I started them, so I might have done something wrong.

 

Hopefully it's all working the way it's supposed to!

I have been wondering about feeds. Were they hard to do? I just learned about them. How do you know when someone updates their blog? Do you get an email notice or something?

The feed was very easy to set up at bloglines.com. I think you can set it up to get email notification of updates, but I don't have mine set up that way. I just go to my account at bloglines whenever I want to read blog updates, click on "My Feeds." That gives me a list of all my blog feeds, and any blog with a new update shows up in bold. I just click on the name of that blog, and the new entries show up on the right hand side of my screen. If I want, I can then click on that blog's name on the right and go directly to the blog, or I can just read the entry within the blogline frame.

 

It makes it very easy to keep up with a large number of blogs. And it's free!
