Site Feed To Feed Your Friend's Blogroll

Remember my post about "could not detect feed, add this url anyway?"? Well it seems that it does not work always. I still have two or three friends that I could not have a feed. Not that I am hungry for feeds but I feel ashamed not being able to see their updates. I added them to my blogroll and to me it is my obligation to at least check out their newest post that has been feed to me. So when I can't get a feed on some of my bloggers friends, I applied this. And when it does not work, I spend a week or two looking for the answer. Finally it is here, and I hope this is really it is.

It is not my fault (or yours) but rather your friends LOL (unintentionally of course). They forgot to change their site feed. And how do you change your site feed? Simple as this:

First go to your dashboard and click on the setting of the blog that you want to change the site feed.

Then click on the site feed tab (next to archiving tab). Click on the advance setting.

Allow Blog Feed? Select FULL

Save Settings and tell me if it works.

Could not detect a feed for this URL. Add URL anyway?

Have you tried adding your friend's blog site or website in your blog roll and a message tells you:

Could not detect a feed for this URL. Blog posts and update time will not be shown. Add URL anyway?

I hate it. I added my friend's URL so I am updated on what they are up to. So I can be updated on what is happening on their lives. So I can have a glimpse of their online journal.. and blogger will say to my face that updates will not be shown? what the!?!

If you are faced with this kind of problem, you can try changing the URL to this:

http://blogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml
or
http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

you just have to add atom.xml and if won't work add feeds/posts/default instead

Don;t just love to hear more from your blogger friends?
