Add an RSS feed to your blog

This assignment will reinforce the notion of an RSS feed and give you practice customizing a blog.

My demonstration blog has a link to an RSS feed in the right hand column. Your assignment is to add a subscription link to your blog.

If you have configured Blogger to provide a full feed, the URL for your feed will be:

http://XXX.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/full
Where XXX is the name of your blog.

Test your link by subscribing to your blog. When your subscription link is working, print a copy of the blog showing it. Also print and turn in a page from your RSS reader showing that you have subscribed to your own blog.

Note that I included an RSS icon -- -- in my link. You do not have to include it, but as an extra little challenge, you might see if you can. If you try it, think first about how I may have done it.

Note also that I used the feed Blogger generated automatically for me in this example, but used a Feedburner feed for our class blog. You might also try doing this assignment using a Feedburner feed. Again, that is not required.
