RSS Feeds: Your blog & your Google Reader shared items

COMMENTS: 39042 Comments2009-01-15+15%3A39%3A00FB+%40+FabulouslyBroke.com

Got a question from Life is Wonderful who asked what the difference was between my blog feed and my Google Reader shared items.

The short answer is that they’re both separate RSS feeds.

The long answer:

One RSS feed is the posts for my blog itself: feeds.feedburner.com/FabulouslyBrokeInTheCity

The second RSS feed is for the posts that I have in my Google Reader: http://www.google.com/reader/shared/13285849961214282654

These are OTHER posts from all the blogs I subscribe to in my Google Reader (not my blog posts) that I share with other people because I find them interesting.

These are the posts that I click “Share” or “Share with Notes”.

Think of it as a Real-Time Link Love.

What’s really great about sharing posts from all these great blogs that I subscribe to on my Reader is that you share with me too!

And I love reading what other people Share, because I discover a lot of great blogs that way.

Here’s how to add both links in Google Reader.

Did you like the post? Then please share the love!

Cool. Thanks for explaining that. I’ve gotta go figure out how to share my reader now.

I take pride in my shared items…I love it when my friends comment to me about what I’ve shared, or when I see that they’ve shared the same topics!

Only your first comment will have to be moderated, unless it accidentally gets marked as spam by Akismet.

Other than that, most comments are automatically approved unless:
A) You are a spammer and you know it! (Yes, even if you leave thoughtful, interesting comments.)
B) You are rude to me or my readers, and I don't want to post your comment.
