YPN RSS and wordpress - how to do it?

Could anyone please help me how to get started with RSS for wordpress. I had tried earlier, but somehow yahoo didn't recognize the RSS feed.

what is typicall RSS .xml feel URL, I don't see it anywhere how to manage it in admin panel

?

 

I have Blogs with blogger.com I just post using their online editor and ping each blog daily. I checked the 'settings' then 'site feed' and I see that all BLOGS on blogger.com use something called ATOM.
and each BLOG is submitted to a news feed if you just select the option, 'Publish Site Feed'
it gives your blog an url like:
http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml

So when selecting the "Register a New RSS Feed' option with YPN RSS code what format do we select with blogger.com and ATOM ?

WordPress
- OR -
Moveable Type

 

Did you do it

http://www.blogname/feed/

for the url in yahoo?

Then you just need to go in and edit the wp-rss2.php, wp-rdf.php and wp-atom.php

I am personally going to hunt down and maim whomever for google made those horrific gifs of where to insert the Yahoo code. It is not even possible to get them clear, so they wasted a few minutes of my time as I figured out precisely where to add the code. Be aware you have to actually insert the code in the middle of the line, and thus the horrible gif images are horrible, as they show the lines split and tell you to insert the code.

Pretty bad instructions if you ask me. Could have been down 1000 times better. Anyways, I got them added to a few blogs and have checked and they are showing ads... Just wonder if they will show anything other then vonage ads.

 

okay, I was able to figure out how to get RSS feed and generate ad code for it.

Pardon my navieness here, but next what...I have to add this code to RSS css/template

Can someone throw a light on

1. I have added my own RSS feed to my yahoo, how do I see it

2. Can someone else help me give confirmation that they are able to see my RSS feed and ads eventually

You don't. The code seems to be broken as of this moment else someone at Y! has to be manually enabling those feeds for your site (I'm just guessing).

Did you try to call YPN support # (866) 785-2636 ? If you are in US, give them a call. I use a different RSS feed system, so they won't talk to me.

Please post your finds here.
Thanks!

Thank you, blogvp, I have been to this page about ten times today.
So, tell me: does it work on your site?

 

It says: Log in to the Movable Type Publishing Platform.

I have never even seen this program or screen in over a year of blogging at www.blogger.com - How do we get to it to log in ?

 

You can't have YPN RSS Ads in a blogger account. They are restricted to Wordpress and Movable Type systems right now. They are different publishing platforms from blogger.com. I'm sure Yahoo will expand the number of platforms it support in the future.

 

OMG! Seriously. Those were the worst instructions in the history of instructions. My grandma could have done better.

 

I made a quick walk-through for anyone else wanting to avoid the bad YPN instructions. Thread here:
