  • How to add feed widget in blog


    Here you can learn how to configure feeds for your blog or website using feedburner and similar services

    I am using blogspot for my blog. The problem is that I am unable to add feed widget on my blog. I tried using feedburner, but it shows constant crash once I fill in the feed URL on the website. I also tried adding widget from feedcat but I didn't really like its appearance. It is inconvenient for new readers to subscribe using feedcat's widget. Please suggest how to proceed. I need a solution urgently.

    Also tell me how to insert a box below the feed widget wherein readers can add their email id for subscriptions

  • After successfully login to your blogger account, go to the dashboard of your personal blog. You need to click the icon 'Layout' and choose 'Page Elements'. There you will see the required icon "Add a Gadget." You can select your favorite Gadget or widget and name search option is also available there. After choosing the widget you can simply add it in your blog by clicking the blue symbol seen there. The last step is to save the process and your job has been done successfully.

    On clicking the blue icon, it asks to add the feed URL. Here I added the URL shown below after replacing the blogname with the actual name but this shows the message ' Invalid URL'. What to do?

    RSS 2.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
