RSS for Blogger

This is an experiment.  Comments solicited.

I've used RSS to monitor EV sites of interest to good effect for quite a while.  I asked myself how to get notification of new Blogger posts and RSS seems, perhaps, the best way.

Using the template
http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

This Blog's RSS feed would be:
  http://wmckemie.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
and Ray's would be:
  http://rmenke.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

Though I have not yet tried adding the above URLs to a RSS feed reader, I see giving the URLs to a browser shows nothing for wmckemie and the entire blog for rmenke.  I wonder if Ray did something to enable RSS feed?


BTW, I have found the RSS feed of the mail client ThunderBird to be immensely useful.

  1. Ray recently enabled a way to see comments made on his blog: First, log in to your Blogger dashboard, and under Settings/mobile and email, insert the email address in the text box present next to the “Comment Notification Email”. You can enter up to ten email addresses, separated by commas. Blogger will email these addresses when someone leaves a comment on your blog.
    I put my email address in the box, but have not received any emails yet, because not too many people are reading my blog.
