BLOGGER adding RSS feeds

These help add attractive content to your blogs - and also should help you to notice useful articles and conveniently access these.

In the olden days most publisher sites had an icon to click to get the URL required, but today just find the website, or website section, you want and try adding /rss to the end of it, eg:

https://www.theguardian.com/film/series/at-the-british-box-office
becomes
https://www.theguardian.com/film/series/at-the-british-box-office/rss
https://www.theguardian.com/music/indiebecomeshttps://www.theguardian.com/music/indie/rss 

Its simple on blogger; here's instructions with screenshots to follow. It won't work for all sites; if you click continue and nothing happens, you can't do it for that site/page.



You can find examples of what you might follow on my blogs.

http://www.theguardian.com/media/nbc-universal/rss
https://www.theguardian.com/film/working-title

http://www.blabbermouth.net/


There are many possibilities; I did a links list of more that I didn't think I'd want a big box for, but would still save me from googling (these are all links that open micro-sites on The Film Guardian - for example the Shane Meadows link shows me a feature on Journeyman, inspiration for a 2018-19 AS production).

Obviously once you've added some of these, you'd do a new post:
BLOGGERX Adding RSS feeds
... where the X = the number

You can easily go on to add news feeds from your social media accounts:
Insta
twitter
FB
...
