Using RSS Feeds at Squidoo

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

And why would you want to do that anyway?

First off... WHAT IS RSS?

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

If you can copy and paste, you can do this, okay?

The best thing about RSS is that the content from the other site 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 four or more modules. That is, 4 blocks of information on your lens. Writing several short 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 blog (and tons of websites too) 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 you're stuck and 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, naturally.
