Add RSS Subscription to your blog

This is very important to let your friends, colleagues and whoever is entrusted in your blog stay updated with your last articles, and a very good way to let them come back to your blog and read something or check something out. It’s like giving the capability to whoever needs to follow your blog to have it as soon as you publish it.


First login to your blog and go to setting


Change your allow Blog Feeds to Full (read the detail form more information), and click on the link FeedBurner, login there with same Google account and add your blog URL to the box, click NEXT

Or Go to Google FeedBurner (www.FeedBurner.com), it’s another Google service, enter your same credentials and login.

You need to enter your Full Blog URL in the text box and select Next, as below



Select the Atom or the RSS option (Atom is supported by Google), then select the other steps as in below image,

If you have made more than one blog you need to select the blog first from My Feeds.

Then you need to select the Publicize from the Tab as below:


And then from the side menu on the left select (Chicklet Chooser), I prefer to select the first default icon because it’s well known and everybody will now it by default.



Scroll down and select Blogger from the drop down list and then select the Button GO in front of the drop down, it will guide you on adding the blog image on your blog

Note: By the way there is a lot of very useful and interesting features with FeedBurner so if you have some extra time, go and play with them.

Select your blog if you have more than one, and I prefer to remove the title (RSS is well known and you can benefit from that space for something else. Press (ADD WIDGET)

After saving, that’s it, open your blog and you will find the RSS image there and everybody can subscribe to it.

If you like to move the location of the RSS, you will need to use your blog-design layout and move it wherever you like.

Being on the net by Blogging

Before I begin, I will assume in each blog that you have the tools and know the knowledge of the blogs before the one you are reading, you don’t need to have the exact one in this blog but at least something compatible, as simple as an email address, so in the following blog I’m recommending having one or to create one, so in the future I will expect its already there.

I believe the first step to start is to be there somewhere on the internet and the most easy way is to build a blog, yes you can, in very simple steps.

I recommend opening a Gmail account if you don’t have one (you can use any other email provider too); I recommend that because Google has a very large number of free services that will help in the future and to separate your personal emails from the money maker one.

So to get your new Gmail account from here

Before creating the blog you will need to select a subject, this is hard and very important, the trick is to select something that you love and is related to you, so talking about that subject will be easy and helpful to others, so if you are in school select your favorite lesson, or your favorite math subject, if you are in college select the most interesting subject there, and go from there. Any subject that relates to you and you know more about it than others, plus you must love it and willing to spend some time promoting it and writing about it.

Then go to blogger and register for a new blog.
Select the blog name and the URL (if you have hard time finding a short URL try using separators as the minus sign and try to make it as short as possible).

After going throw the process of registering you will need to select your first topic and blog about it. Make some research on the internet and start writing, don’t kill yourself, make it simple as possible to close the day and be ready to take other steps forward.
