Claiming feeds in Bloglines

    Hi. I’m trying to claim my feeds in Bloglines. The instructions say to:

    “In order to prove that you are authorized to claim the feeds listed below, please follow these instructions:

    1. Include this claim key in a blog post: <key>
    2. Include this user key in the template for your web site: <key>

    Press the “Verify My Claim” button. We will immediately confirm that the keys appear in your post and on your web site. (Show the technical details.)”

    Which file do I add the user key to? I tried the index and page templates, but that didn’t work.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Hilary

  • What happens if you turn the wysiwyg editor on, make a new post, just for the Claiming? For the new post, with the WYSIWYG ON, With NO TEXT in the WRITE POST window, just add this in the NEW post: <!-- ckey="key" -->

    Hit save post button, then try to claim it? Maybe.. I dunno.. worth a shot..

    Nope. Didn’t work either.

    What kind of plugins do you have running? I’m trying to remember if I had a claim with them before or not.. and if I did, how did I do it.. hmmm.

    With a little Googling, I found this:

    I saw that too, but I believe it’s different…he’s on a wordpress.com blog.

    I got mine working today, without much trouble. For my main feed I just had to add one code to the homepage index.php, and another to a post that actually appears on my homepage (this was the tricky part, since I only display selected content).

    For my second feed, which is segregated from my main feed, I had to do the exact same thing strangely enough, although the URL and content is different… basically bloglines seems to focus on what is happening on your homepage, and won’t go scouting around anywhere else. Hope that helps?

    I’ll try the index.php again. Where in there did you put the key?

    Nope. Still didn’t work.

    I put it below the header. You may wish to manually check that you have done everything right by viewing source on your homepage and finding the TWO keys there, and also manually viewing your MAIN feed to find the single post key. If everything is as it should be then I think you’re outta luck :/

    Okay. I viewed the source and I can see both keys.
    I viewed the feed (https://noshwithme.com/feed) but don’t see either key. What could be preventing it from showing in the feed?

    Make sure your feed is being updated properly… and perhaps, just for now, turn on full posts instead of excerpts if you have them on? This I am just guessing about. If all else fails, hack your feed ??

    How do I verify it’s being updated properly? It is current, if that’s what you mean. I’ll try full instead of summary now.

    Ooooo something worked! Now I’m going to try superjux.com.

    Okay, that did the trick. It has has to be on full text rather than summary in order to be able to claim. How odd!

    Thank you SO much Xander!
