Syndication

At a family gathering yesterday my brother-in-law were talking about blogs and he asked if I was going to publish this blog in RSS format. To be honest, I don't know much about RSS other than what the acronym stands for (Really Simple Syndication) so I did some quick research last night. I still don't know a bunch about syndication, but I got the blog published.

Blogger automatically publishes site content in Atom format; the URL is http://takethefifth.blogspot.com/atom.xml.

In addition, I created a free account with a third-party website called FeedBurner (http://www.feedburner.com) to syndicate my site content for readers that are not compatible with Atom XML formatting. The URL is http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheFifthEstate.

To subscribe, you can click the XML chicklet under "Links" in the right-hand column, or follow the "Subscribe to…" link in the page footer.

Brandon -

Go to newsgator as well. You can add your link there. It is a good idea and people will find it. And submit it to blawg! They want to know what you have to say.

Brandon,

This is the brother-in-law reporting that your RSS feed is working great! I'm all caught up now!

One note: the "From: Brandon Wilson" at the top of the RSS feed can be clicked on to respond, but no email address was provided. I don't care (since I know your email address), but am pointing it out for completeness.

Thanks for publishing! I'm enjoying the read.
