Using RSS Feeds at Squidoo Made Easy

By: Gary Harvey

How do you add an RSS feed to your Squidoo lens?

And why would you want to do that?

First off... WHAT IS RSS? - A simple intro.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and it allows you to add content from other websites to your lens, by copying a single line of code.

The best thing about RSS is that the content is automatically updated on your lens whenever it changes at the other site.

WHY USE RSS FEEDS?

1. Fresh content is fed into your lens frequently, without you doing a thing. Nice eh?

2. Squidoo won't even list your lens until you have at least 4 modules. That is, 4 blocks of information on your page. Writing several articles is a great way to help achieve that. Adding an RSS feed is easier still.

WHERE DO YOU GET RSS FEEDS FROM?

Today almost every online publisher and blogger provides a feed so you can publish their content on your site. You would have seen the orange XML rectangles and more recently the square orange RSS logos. The links under those symbols are RSS feeds.

If all you want is something relevant to your lens, then here is the code for a Yahoo News feed about Seth Godin, the creator of Squidoo:

Just change [seth+godin] to [your+three+keywords] or [keyword]. Without the brackets, of course.

In "Using RSS Feeds at Squidoo – A Simple Explanation, Part 2", we will go through the steps to add this feed to your Squidoo lens.
