"Recent Blog" Feature Not Working? - Blog Forum

rodaniel · #1 (**permalink**) 04-30-2008, 06:44 PM

I just noticed that the "Recent Blog" feature isn't working on my profile here on Bloggeries. (See attached image for an example.)

This feature does work on some of the other forums I'm a member of and I've double-checked my settings. Any thoughts on this?

I don't know, when did you add it? Sometimes the recent post feature runs a few hours behind.

Hey, how do you even set that up? I've never done it, but want to do it and write intriguing headlines to bait innocent people with.

It seems to work for me.

Rodaniel; whats the exact feed you are putting in as it doesn't appear to be working for you.

I've had this entered in my profile settings here for several weeks - and this does seem to work on a couple of other forums I'm a member of...

My only guess is it could not like atom feeds. If you burnt it in feedburner I "bet" it would work

Can someone teach me how to set up the recent blog post feature. I am signed up on feedburner but do not have anything fancy on the feed. It is just set up for subscription via email. I was told it was best to simplify the ways one can sign up for RSS feed. If that is incorrect I would like to know what is the best method to take part in.

Sure...it's easy to do.

At the top of the page (left side) is a link to the User CP. Click on that, and choose edit profile.

Down at the bottom is a section called Additional Information. In the middle is Blog Feed.

Enter the details there. If you have Feedburner, it'll be something like
http://feeds.feedburner.com/YourBlogName

Click Save Changes, and you're done.

That would be my only guess, which is unfortunate considering a lot of people use atom feeds.
