Quick question about rss feeds.......

[Gandhi]

I had a quick search on here but couldn't find any pertinent information.

I'm using wordpress for my blog I've just started but I'd like to link it to here so new posts are fed directly to TPF in the same way pete, marcel et al do it.

I'm not sure it's possible as I'm using wordpress on their domain rather than hosting it myself.


Any pointers gratefuly received!

Wordpress as a standalone install or on their system has an RSS feed. Whats the url? If you're using Firefox you'll see a little symbol in the address field.

That'll tell you if a site has RSS or not.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Pete.

The url is.......

http://itsallaboutlight.wordpress.com/feed


Now how (i think it's possible) do I get that to drop into TPF automaticaly? Or do I have to do it manually every time I post a new entry?

We admin type people have to do it.

Grab me on MSN old fruit and Ill let you know what the requirements are mbooth@gmail.com
Basically, we'll happily add it, as long as it looks like a normalish post (ie, largish images), and you come back to comment on the replies etc, like you would a normal thread

Cheers for that Marcel Sir!

I shall have to go through the rigmarol of downloading MSN but Laura's been nagging me for ages to do it!

I also need to make sure I can post images big enough to make it worthwhile lol! Had a bit of trouble with the template I'm using as it wouldn't let me post anything as big as 800px wide. I shall probs change the template tonight later and then be in touch!

Thanks again!
