RSS feeds

[jellygator]

I have been adding RSS feeds to both Constant Content and my own existing articles whenever possible on my blog pages. Unfortunately, on the forum I use most often (hubpages.com) no html is allowed, so I am unable to link people to my own articles here with the widget. Is there a way for authors to set up an rss feed to our articles, too?

I think this would attract buyers who are interested in topics we write about but who want full rights to similar subjects. By using my own rss feed AND CC's blog feed, it would potentially create more demand for content from writers here.

Any chance of this happening anytime soon?

We do actually have a feed setup for each writer, but for some reason the RSS link doesn't seem to be showing on the profile pages. We'll get that sorted out asap, but in the meantime here is your RSS link:

The html is missing a feed URL... ? Example: When I click on the CC rss link on the site's front page, I get a page full of xml. For Squidoo pages, authors can link to rss feeds easily, but cannot insert the xml. We just post the URL from which to draw. In CC's case, the xml begins with this excerpt and I can paste the enlarged URL into rss feed modules and it shows your blog's recent titles. If I try to use the rest of the info, it won't work.

<rss xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/" version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>Constant Content</title>
<atom:link href="http://www.constant-content.com/blog/feed/" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/>
<link>http://www.constant-content.com/blog</link>
<description>


The link you provided me shows up as a link, but if someone clicks on my link, they see a a link that says "Articles by Kathy Batesel" but it connects them to the xml data rather than to headlines/titles. Where the xml data should have a feed link, it only has:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>Articles by Kathy Batesel Available For Sale at Constant-Content.com</title>
<link>Unique, High Quality, Handed Edit Articles by Kathy Batesel</link>
<description>Unique, High Quality, Handed Edit Articles by Kathy Batesel</description>

This is not an actual address, in other words. (BTW, the "Handed Edit" is cut/paste, too. I think it's meant to say hand-edited?)

Could this be why rss feeds are not working on the author profiles, too?

Thanks so much for paying attention and providing us good tools. Sorry for the ugly format - I wasn't able to make it look nice and yet easy to distinguish the important points.

Woot - figured out how to use that in a feed aggregator! I'll keep on keepin' on....
