If you are using blogging service like Blogger or hosted your blog in place where you aren’t allowed to do some scripting (which means, you can’t use some solution required PHP, Perl …etc), you could still add a RSS feed to your blog through BlogMatrix.

If you don’t know what is RSS, check out this essay. What’s the benefit RSS brought to you? It basically providing a subscribing service to readers of your blog. There are now millions blogs available in blogland, and people just don’t have enough time to point their browser to all favourite blogs one by one. By using some RSS-aware program, they would be able to subscribe to these blogs and selectively choose to read their interested stories. By providing RSS, you open more option to your blog readers.

How to add RSS feed to your blog, via BlogMatrix
What’s illustrated here is a simpler way to generate a RSS feed to your blogger-powered blog, without signing up to BlogMatrix. (You could still register in BlogMatrix, that you could get your own blogroll and easier access to the information of your added blog).

1. Add your blog to BlogMatrix so it would be crawled/monitored by BlogMatrix. Go to http://www.blogmatrix.com/join.
2. Follow the instruction, click the “Next” button, then fill in your blog URL, your email, your relationship with the blog (you could submit other’s blog too), and choose I did not use the Template Rewriter. (Template Rewriter is the extra step to help BlogMatrix better parse your blog, learn about it here) Click “Next” to go to next step.
3. You don’t need to fill in the XML/RSS, because our purpose is to rely on BlogMatrix to create one for you. On the content, I suggest to choose Complete content. It would benefit more users of RSS readers.
4. Come to the last step, you could simply click the “Finish” button, or fill in descrition of your blog, more information of your blog such as country, state, city…etc. The more information you give, the easier BlogMatrix would identify your blog.
5. At last, there is a message telling you the blog has been added to BlogMatrix’s monitor, and the first entry might only start appearing 36 hours later. The added blog would be automatically put inside your blogrolling if you are a signed-in user.
6. So, your blog added, how could you get the URL of your RSS feed? You could go to blogrss, enter your blog’s name to search (Or just search at BlogMatrix main page). If it’s already available, you’d see your blog listed in the search result, click on it would bring you two icons and two code chunk, where you could copy and paste into your blog template. One icon is the link to BlogMatrix main page, the other is the link to your RSS URL. Put your RSS URL up on your blog, or give it to some reader who need it.
7. Take Oon Yeah’s blogspot site as an example, search “Transitions” at blogrss, you would see his blog (oonyeoh.blogspot.com) in the result list. Follow the link and then you could grab his RSS URL as http://feeds.blogmatrix.com/feeds/0186/018674.feed.rss

That’s it. If there are blog-tals like PPS need your blog’s RSS to parse and updating in their main page, you know what to do. You got the option to generate your RSS even if your blogging tool don’t.
