Questions about the RSS Feed

Post by remoteriverman »

Hi -

On my CC Profile Page, I notice there's a link to my author RSS feed. I also notice that though I have about 16 articles currently for sale on CC, my RSS feed only lists the ten most recent ones. I was wondering why it doesn't list every article I have for sale on CC. Secondly, how can I use this RSS feed to help sell my articles? I have no experience with RSS feeds. How, for example, can I put a link to my CC RSS feed onto the profile page of my LinkedIn account or include it in an email signature?

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Remote River Man

RSS feeds are supposed to be downloaded by RSS readers, so you don't want too much content in the file. Some people here have thousands of articles, and you don't want that much. Feeds are supposed to be for latest news/articles/whatever.

The feed is for people to follow your writing. You could put the link to your feed on your site if you sell work through your site. That's really all it's for.
