hello there, I need help please I'm trying to increase my blog traffic, and I've done ALOT. I've subscribed to a lot of search engines and blog directories and rankings and I've advertised in forums, and it is really really very tiring. there is one last thing i have yet to do though how do i use RSS? There is no clear explanation for how to make it work I've followed steps and it seems simple, until i get stuck at one point here it is: 1.) open notepad 2.) type everything, <item><title><description> blah blah blah 3.) save as <name>.xml 4.) What nexT? I have a .xml file saved with all the "items" but I don't know what to do with it, a tutorial said I should put it in by web server or something, I'm sorry, I do not understand, I get lost at that part, can someone please help out and explain it to me in detail, step by step? thank you By the way, in Rankings, what does In and Out mean? check out my blog by the way, its an NBA sports blog in case you are interested: http://fullcourtnba.blogspot.com
blogspot already has a RSS feed. Or is it atom? I can't recall. Either way, you don't need to worry about adding the list and you couldn't if you wanted too anyways as blogger won't allow it. Most any feedreader will autodetect a blogspot rss feed. So you've really already done most everything you need to as far as publishing a feed. From what I can tell, you only began the blog this month. Most blogs take about 1 year to hit full stride and then even longer to become well established. There are exceptions, but that's the general rule. Have patience. In your first month, several hundred hits is normal, not several thousand.
