Steps to add the link for your latest blog post to the member information within your posts ...

Step #1 - Click on User CP from the navigation menu.

Step #2 - Click on Edit Profile from the left side navigation.

Step #3 - Scroll down near the bottom to External Blog and enter the URL for your blog feed.

If you do not have an XML feed that uses the type of URL shown in the screenshot, then it may be necessary for you to use a service such as FeedBurner in order to create a standard feed URL (Those of you using free blog services such as Blogger may need to use FeedBurner.)

OK Cricket, you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned feedburner. I had already done everything up to the point of the feedburner. I knew there was something else that required additional technology. I have created an account in FeedBurner. I have gone through the steps of creating my FeedBurner. Now, I have been given some additional choices; such as, Redirect Your Blogger Feed to your FeedBurner Feed, Publish a chicklet to display your feedburner feed, and offer blog updates via email. I know it is not option 3, so it must be one of the top two. I have worked with a chicklet before when I tried to create a blog using WordPress. Which is my next step Cricket?

chicgeek · 09-03-2007, 01:20 PM

None of those. You should be given a URL for your burned feed, like this:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/chicgeek

Paste that into the correct box in your profile and that should be it.

Thank you Chicgeek. I did get a url. I will go on ahead and paste it in my profile. I appreciate your response.

chicgeek · 09-03-2007, 04:30 PM

No problem! Looks like it's working great now.

work2bfree · 09-03-2007, 04:34 PM

Wow, that's fast. I just updated my profile about 5 to 10 minutes ago. I am glad to hear that it is working.

Thanks again Chicgeek.

Thanks for posting this information. I've seen a few forum members who have big XML errors in that section of their profile. Now we have a resource to point them to, to fix the problem

I hear that question a lot, but I don't even have a clue how the game of Cricket is played.

I was born with the hiccups. The first time my daddy saw me, he was horrified. He told everyone who would listen that I was the ugliest baby he had ever seen and that I sounded just like a cricket. From that day forward, I have always been known as Cricket.

I just wanted to thank you Cricket for posting this very helpful information.

I had tried to do it before and it didnt work. However I followed your instructions and got onto Feedburner and it worked!!

I was so chuffed with myself last night for doing it and I wanted to thank you ...then I couldnt find the thread- or maybe I just lost the plot!!

Anyway found the thread just now so big thank you...

**Cricket** · 09-15-2007, 04:58 AM
