Question RSS & Feedburner
Hey divas....so i'm lost. I'm self hosting my blog with wordpress, and i did the entire setup, and everything went well. i have the book wordpress for dummies, and i'm trying to wrap my mind around the whole rss thing, and it's just not registering.

i know rss is a feed...so i went to feedburner, which i heard about, and downloaded the pluggin. my question is how do i get the link to my site, and how to i get the little orange symbol on my site so that people can resiter for my feed.

anyone can tell me how the process works, and what i need to do...or what i might be doing wrong??

thanks,
amay's mom

The little orange icon is available to you at the feedburner site - got it there myself very recently. When you've copied the code, open your wordpress dashboard and click on presentation and then widgets and follow directions to add the code to your sidebar.

You're doing great, almost there!

Thanks Mary! Amaya's Mom - If you have any trouble, let us know! We're here to help!

Did you activate the plugin in your Manage--->Plugins section of your Wordpress backend?

Also, here's a help article on getting the little icon to display: http://www.google.com/support/feedbu...87&ctx=sibling
