Now that we’ve redirected the atom feed to FeedBurner we can direct all readers to FeedBurner. We’ll do that in our blog links and on the web site hosting the blog.
Display the FeedBurner feed in the blog links
- Open the blogger.com template
- Find the section:
<h2 class=”sidebar-title”>Links</h2> - Comment out the default atom site feed link:
<!– <li><a href=”<$BlogSiteFeedUrl$>” mce_href=”<$BlogSiteFeedUrl$>” title=”Atom feed”>Site Feed</a></li>–> - Add the FeedBurner feed link:
<li><a href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/eProgramming-for-seo-sem” mce_href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/eProgramming-for-seo-sem” title=”FeedDemon Atom/RSS/Anything Feed”>FeedDemon RSS/Atom SmartFeed</a></li> - Save the template and publish
Allow readers to autodiscover your feed
Make these changes to the <head> of your web site home page:
Create or edit any link alternate or link service.feed meta tags that might look like this:
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS” href=”http://mysite.com/rss.xml” mce_href=”http://mysite.com/rss.xml” />
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rdf+xml” title=”RSS” href=”http://mysite.com/index.rdf” mce_href=”http://mysite.com/index.rdf” />
<link rel=”service.feed” type=”application/atom+xml” title=”Atom” href=”http://mysite.com/atom.xml” mce_href=”http://mysite.com/atom.xml” />
And point them to the FeedBurner feed instead:
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS” href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/eProgramming-for-seo-sem” mce_href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/eProgramming-for-seo-sem” />
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rdf+xml” title=”RSS” href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/eProgramming-for-seo-sem” mce_href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/eProgramming-for-seo-sem” />
<link rel=”service.feed” type=”application/atom+xml” title=”Atom” href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/eProgramming-for-seo-sem” mce_href=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/eProgramming-for-seo-sem” />
