“If your site is a blog with a valid RSS/ATOM feed, your headlines will show
up on the site within one week.”

Okay, I looked up articles on RSS and ATOM, so I know what they do. How do I know whether my blog (Google’s Blogspot is my host) has a feed? How do add one if it doesn’t?

“1) Make sure you put your site’s RSS/ATOM feed in your profile”

I take it that’s the profile on MetaxuCafe. My url shows up in the profile. Does that mean I’m set?
Anything else I should do?

“3) Link to MetaxuCafe from your site - what’s good for us is good for all
of us.” Done!

The HTML for a badge… where do I put that? You have the code, but doesn’t say what to do with it.

Appreciate your help!

Hi Jacob Russell’s Barking Dog - I looked at your profile and it looks like you’ve got your feed in their just fine - so you’re set in that regard. As far as the badge, you can just drop that code into the sidebar of your site (I don’t know blogspot blogs very well, but I think that’s right)

Thanks!
Bud
