Setting Up Your RSS Feed

So that your readers can easily be updated about new content, we strongly recommend setting up your blog's feed. Using the blog's feed, updates can be sent to subscribers through a variety of ways, including e-mail subscriptions.  It's a great way to make sure your readers are keeping up with your blog!

On a Typepad blog, the feed is the blog's URL followed by atom.xml or rss.xml. Both of these feeds contain the same content and it usually doesn't matter which one you use. Here are some examples to get the feel for how they look:

http://example.typepad.com/my-blog/atom.xml
http://www.customdomain.com/my-blog/rss.xml
http://www.exampledomain.net/atom.xml

To turn on your feed, go to Settings > Feeds, and check the box to publish the feed for Blog Posts, and save changes. You can also turn on feeds for comments on individual posts and pages, and also posts by category.

The feed for your blog will update immediately when you publish a new post so that your readers can come and take a look right away. You can learn more about feeds in our Knowledge Base.
