Re: [Donna] Providing RSS Feeds from Article Manager

Can't Post

thanks, Donna. I was able to set up the rss feed and went to feedBlitz and set that up and just this morning got an email from feedBlitz showing new articles posted to www.childrencomefirst.com. I also was able to easily add the rss feed to my blog at blogger and it came in no problem.
I do need your help still: It's one thing for me to manually ask to subscribe to my own feed, i.e., at feedBlitz and my own blog. But how do I set things up so my site's visitors can subscribe to my childrencomefirst.com rss feed on their own just as easy? I was reading this paragraph in the text file describing how to signup for feedBlitz to see if your own rss feed is working, but can't figure out how to actually do what it says to do:
"Once you've filled out the required fields, click "Publish Feed".
You'll be taken to a page with some neat information about how to publicize your feed. For instance, you can take the HTML Subscription Form Code, and copy & paste it into one of your Article Manager templates. Once you've republished your site, you'll have a field on your site where users can easily sign up for your feed. Or, you can add a "Feed Count Chicklet", letting others know how popular your site is. (Although, you might want to wait until you have a few subscribers before adding that one... advertising that you only have one lonely reader might not be a great endorsement!).
When I went to feedBlitz I never landed nor can I find the page this paragraph is talking about. Also, is this my html subscription form code?
http://www.childrencomefirst.com/rss.xml
That's the one I put at feedBlitz and also at blogger and they're working. Is all I have to do is make a link and maybe put an RSS image on any of my ArtMan-1 templates?
Thanks for your help.
