What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication or previously Rich Site Summary.
RSS is a format to monitor or deliver regularly changing information on the web.
It is is a standardised XML file that can be used for the distribution of content from an online publisher to internet users.
The feed, channel or web-feed can be displayed in an RSS reader.
How to retrieve your RSS feed url
1. Add ‘/feed’ at the end of your blog url
This works for every WordPress blog. It’s easy enough to quickly try with your blog url.
For example, Yours TrulyJuly‘s feed url on WordPress looks like this: https://trulyjuly.wordpress.com/feed/
2. Click on ‘Subscribe’ on your own blog
Blogger is not so straight forward. However, you can find the various feed urls Blogspot offers by subscribing to your own blog: Most blogging platforms offer a subscription widget / plugin / gadget. Ensure it is installed and visible to everyone on your blog. Clicking on the ‘Subscribe’ button shows your own blog’s feed url.
For example, Yours TrulyJuly‘s feed url on Blogger looks like this: https://trulyjuly.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
3. View the source code and search for ‘RSS’
Right-click ‘View page source‘ and search the code for ‘RSS’ by opening the search field with Control + F or clicking on Menu -> Find. You should see something like ‘”RSS” href=’ or ‘”Feed” href=’ and the following link should be your blog’s feed url.
Interestingly, this way Yours TrulyJuly‘s feed url on Blogger shows as: https://trulyjuly.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
Yours *TrulyJuly*
