A recommended kind of RSS solution


Today I want to recommend a kind of RSS solution and  it’s just what I use for my blog.

In this way, we will have a permanent and unique rss url. As for me, it’s http://feeds.huxuan.org/huxuan

1)Sign up as the same name for your feed in FeedSky & FeedBurner.

e.g. I have
http://feed.feedsky.com/huxuan for FeedSky &
http://feeds.feedburner.com/huxuan for FeedBurner
(I just have it for example, Please don’t subscribe my blog through this two address)

2) Use the Domain Binding Service which Feedburner & Feedsky both provide to host the feed by your own domain name

You should choose only one of the two & Feedburner is recommended absolutely
You need to create a CNAME entry in the DNS records here
More information are provided by Feedburner & Feedsky when you configure the Domain Binding Service

3) Change the feed source you didn’t choose in step 2

e.g. I choose Feedburner to create the feed, so I change the feed source of Feedsky just into http://feeds.huxuan.org/huxuan.

4)Change the default rss url of wordpress

In the header.php of theme we use, similar code can be found like this:
[xml]<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> RSS Feed” href=”http://blog.huxuan.org/feed” />[/xml]
Change the url with underline into the feed you have created.

5)Change all possible default feed url on the site

There may be many default feed url list on the site most presenting as a link of an image or some else.
Just search for it and change it!

Attention: Some Errors happen in Step 6. Ignore it now.

6)Redirect the default feed url to the new one just in case

Insert the code below to .htacess which located in the main directory

[python]# redirect default feed url to the permanent one
Redirect /feed http://feeds.huxuan.org/huxuan[/python]

7)Now all steps is done, just share your unique & permanet feed url to your friends

if one of the two feed service providers don’t work, just change to the other one via repeating Step 2 & 3

P.S. If there’s any error or problem, please feel free to inform me of that.
