Could not detect a feed for this URL..error: How I fixed it

"Could not detect a feed for this URL. Blog posts and update time will not be shown. Add URL anyway?"

The message above is what friends keep seeing lately, whenever they want to add my blog URL to their Blogroll via the Blogger's "Blog List" gadget. I have now fixed the problem, and decided to share the solution with you.


So, what is the solution?

Login to your blog, go to "Design" , "Edit html"

Use "CTRL F" to find  </head>

Directly ABOVE the </head>  , add the code highlighted below:

<link href='http://ogbongeblog.com/feeds/posts/default' rel='alternate' title='RSS Feed for OgbongeBlog' type='application/atom+xml'/>

Edit the code above by changing the "href" and "title" with your blog parameter

Save your template.

If you have another blog, just try and use the "BLOG LIST" gadget to add this blog you just fixed to it, for you to confirm that the error has been fixed.

I hope this info helps..

Kindly share this with friends and feel free to check out other Blogger Tips

If you want me to add your blog to my Blogroll, drop your link via the comment form and be ready to add mine to your blogroll too.

Cheers!
