My sweet friend Maggie has asked me a few times to explain the RSS feed thing for HSB, and I am long overdue in doing so.
First of all, RSS is, well, you'd have to ask my husband, but what I do know is that if your RSS is turned on, people can subscribe to the RSS feed and be notified when you post. I use the Microsoft Windows feed reader, some people use Google or Yahoo or Bloglines.
For the HSB blogs, you'll notice "My Blog's RSS" under the Links. Clicking on this link will enable someone to subscribe to your feed, IF it is turned on.
To turn it on, first log in to your HSB account,
Under "My Blogs" on the right hand side of the row that has your blog name, click on SETTINGS.
At the top, in red, click on the last option SITE FEED.
Next to "Publish site feed?" Select YES from the drop down box.
Beyond that, I chose 10 and With HTML as the answers to the next two questions.
Click SAVE CHANGES, and that should be it. Now anyone can subscribe to your blog, and be notified when you've updated.
Understanding this option has been a tremendous time saver for me as I used to randomly check blogs to see if they'd updated. Now, I just subscribe to my favorites and even if someone doesn't post for a month, I know when they do.
If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment, and I'll do the best I can to answer them.
Grace and Peace,
Angel
