New Year = New & Improved Java BlogJanuary 12th, 2004 I decided to start the year with a better layout for my blog, which was formerly located at http://taragana.blogspot.com/. Why? Lot of features like RSS syndication, better history navigation were missing from blogspot It didn't make sense to host it on blogspot, when I have more than enough space on my own server, in fact two servers! More freedom & control to do as I please, without relying on blogspot Needed something to support multiple pages Category support And a whole lot of other features It means I will be spending more time to provide more content, update it more regularly and overall try to provide you with better experience.

Can somebody help me to install my own blog ? will I get lot’s of users if I am gona install one?
January 6th, 2005 at 4:51 pm
If your site is a blog using any standard blog software then most likely they provide some kind of feeds like RSS or Atom.
If for some reason it doesn’t then use blogstreet to create one.
Then just include it in your blog template, somewhere visible.
Also publish your feed url in different blog aggeragators and/or news aggregators.
That should get you going.
If your content is interesting I am sure many people will subscribe to your RSS feed.

I can’t get the feed on http://websiteseo.blogspot.com/
to work
June 21st, 2005 at 9:43 am
Your atom feed is http://websiteseo.blogspot.com/atom.xml
Use feedBurner.com to convert it to RSS.
January 7th, 2006 at 9:34 am
I do this only as a hobby. Can you recommend a blog software so that I can host a blog on my website? Thanks

@Vivek
I would recommend WordPress. All my blogs (including this) are powered by WordPress.

Even I’d like to create an rss feed for my blog Market Offers .. But it’s truly at despair to find that blogspot, supported by one of the leading companies on interent doesn’t provide rss feed! What could be the reason behind that?
October 2nd, 2006 at 12:01 pm
thank you for posting this. I was trying to find a way to get an RSS feed for a blogspot blog that I like. Ther author doesnt offer a link on their page, but by appending the /atom.xml, I was able to get a feed working. Thank you.

Hello,
I read your article and found it very informative and straight to the point.
.
It clearly identifies exactly what steps to take to get a RSS feed going for your blogspot.com blog.
I highly recommend your article.
To your online success,

I believe google already offers not only the atom but a rss url simply add feeds/posts/default?alt=rss to your blogspot subdomain.
December 23rd, 2007 at 8:06 pm
thanks

I’m on blogger and looking for advice. Because I didn’t want my url to be @blogspot.com, Network Solutions pointed my address to http://www.yourareerservice.com/
FeedBurner only recognises blogspot.com. So my RSS button shows up on that but not on yourcareerservice.om
Blogger has no customer service.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I’d like to blog elsewhere but don’t want to lose audience in a switch and start building all over again.
Regards,

I want to have the whole description of the item in my feeds (from my wordpress blog) when I add the RSS feed to my blogger blog. In blogger when I add a layout element for feeds it just fetches (and displays) the ‘title’ of the items.
Please suggest a way to do it.
Thanks.
