XML feed to my blog?

  • Hello! I was trying to add my blog to Ice Rocket. I thought I had RSS enabled, and therefore an XML feed. But when I had trouble with my submission, I got this message (below) back from Icerocket. How can I add XML feed? (I know HTML, CSS and some php – I just don’t understand how the RSS/XML feed works.) Hope you can help!
    =======================
    Hello, cordelia.

    Your blog https://www.vikingprincess.net/ does not have any link to XML feed, so our searcher cannot determine XML associated with your
    blog.

    thanks.

  • Not familiar with them, but your feed address is:
    https://www.vikingprincess.net/feed
    Or do they need the rpc file?
    https://www.vikingprincess.net/xml.rpc

    If just the xml file – top link.

    Hi! I submitted the top link – will check back tomorrow to see if it worked. Here is what they say at the submit page:

    … please enter the URL to your Blog or to the XML Feed. XML feeds of following formats are supported: RSS, RDF and Atom.
    If your URL points to the web page, we will discover your page for XML feeds.

    Their site is here: https://blogs.icerocket.com/index?&q=
    Thanks for helping!

    Then the top link should work. There’s not an rss link on your index page that I could find – probably why icerocket didn’t.
    Most folks have an rss link in sidebar or footer.

    @vikinggal – add something like this to your theme’s header.php file (between the <head> tags)

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS Feed" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />

    (ideally, that’s all one line)
    That’ll help readers and such “auto-find” your feed. It’ll also help browsers auto-discover it as well.

    Hi, It was me who posted earlier – had to change alias (again!) as I loose my password.

    I believe your solutions are right, but they have not yet resultet in Icerocket picking up my site!

    I emailed back to the support again. Let’s see what they do!

    I added the bit to the head that was suggested by Handy who helped me tons of times! Thanks everybody!
