Edublogs Tutorials

Firstly, why would you want to do this?

I have the BBC news sent directly to my blog and it is updates automatically – so no work for me.

There should be a plugin called Aggr which makes this task really easy and it seems to have now disappeared – hence the reason my feed was not working.

To work around this, you need to use a third party (free) site called Pageflakes.

• sign up for Pageflakes
• if you are very visual, you can use this to read all your feeds
• you can import these feeds from another reader if you want to try and see how it looks
• there’s a menu button (literally a button)
• in there you will see on the LHS  ‘add RSS feed’
• click on this and ad the rss feed for the site you want to use
• you can choose to import all your feeds
• add your opml file where is asks
• you get this file by clicking the ‘export’ option in your reader
• in google, it says ‘manage my subscriptions’
• this will bring all your feeds in for you to see and use
• choose the feed you want to add to your blog
• click on the email logout the top of the feed box
• choose ‘take a flake’
• copy the code
• note the page will need to be set to public in order to work
• paste the code into a post using the ‘html’ tab or
• paste it into a sidebar widget box
• voila
