Your complete guide to RSS – Part 4 – Harnessing the maximum from your RSS Feed: Tips and Tricks
Ever wondered how you can do something more about your RSS Feed than just displaying a chickelet in the sidebar? Well, wonder no-more for today’s discussion will be solely based on that.
- Shoe Show ‘em your chickelet!
Yes I know! This is a bit obvious. But the important thing to remember is that it is the stepping stone for your feed. Most people who read blogs are used to look for that orange button rather than browsing to the footer and clicking on ‘XML Entries’.So keep you button visible and place it high in the sidebar so that in whatever corner your reader may be in your blog, he/she can see it as soon as the page loads, without scrolling. - If possible, show them your Feed count.




Here’s a question – Do you timestamp your posts? Or are you just simply ignoring that – not knowing what you can achieve with it? Most bloggers do not utilize this feature when posting… are you one of them? If so, listen closely.A lot of bloggers can’t find the time to write around the clock. Or at least, post an article at 12 noon and then again wake up and post it at 12 midnight – just like I seem to do. Yes, I post on MindBlogger in 12 hour intervals. And I write my articles, one time, covering for like two days in advance.
Let’s get straight to the point shall we? When people subscribe to your RSS Feed, they simply get all the things that they need from your blog right to their RSS reader. And they will sometimes never visit your site again. So if subscription costs you a hell a lot of page hits, why do you bother giving out a Feed on your blog?
