Can someone give me a basic explanation or provide me with a link? I don't get how to add an RSS Feed from my site. I'd like to offer this to help build traffic to my blogs. The only tutorial I've found on this wasn't very much help.
Even if you could tell me how they work, that would be helpful. I have use Blogger for my blogs... if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

Hi,
If you mean you want to add your RSS feed (or atom if it's blogger) to other sites so they pick up your content you can do a search for rss submissions sites - basically you just add the feed url - in blogger you'll find that in your dasboard under site feed I think (been awhile since I looked in my blogger blogs :-) ) You can practice one for yourself by creating a my yahoo page and then going to add content - everytime you update your blog the feed will be picked up by yahoo and you'll see it. Those that are interested in your blog will subscribe to your feed and then whatever feedreader they use (yahoo etc) will be updated.
If you want to add others feeds to your site so you have regular content updates you just need to search for the relevant content feed. Though I admit I don't know how to add it to blogger (I use wordpress and it's easy that way you just add the url to to your sidebar :-) )
Not sure if that helped or confused you more - feel free to give me a yell though if you want me to try and explain it better via a private message :-)
