Be Found: Adding RSS Feeds to Your Blog

If you have a specialized website or a blog where you publish new content regularly, don't forget to add a feed to it. News feeds come in different standards, with RSS being the most popular one.

Adding a feed to your blog is very easy, especially if you are hosting your blog on large platforms like Blogger or Word Press. In this case, you simply need to check the right box in your management settings.

If, however, you are hosting your blog independently, adding a feed will require a bit of code copying and pasting.
