Putting feeds on your blog

Biz Stone has instructions on how to display RSS feeds on your blog using FeedBurner. I was not aware that they offered this service. Previously I had tried all sorts of RSS to Javascript services, which can be unreliable. You can count on FeedBurner.

The gist:

  1. Get a FeedBurner account if you don’t have one
  2. Get the RSS feed that you want to display and “burn it” (have FeedBurner process your feed for you)
  3. Click on the feed, then click on Publicize. Then click on BuzzBoost and select the options that you want for your blog
  4. Finally, copy and paste the generated Javascript into your template

Of course, if you have a WordPress.com blog, all you have to do is paste the feed URL into an RSS widget under Presentation: Sidebar widgets.
