RSS related directions


Some of the bloggers have got in touch with us concerning BlogUpp! not recognizing their blog's RSS. Thanks for the feedback.
That was mostly due to the fact that the blogs weren't linked properly to the RSS feeds.

Normally, blog platforms automatically include in the header of blogs the <meta> tag referring the feeds. However, still there are blogs that don't have it.
In that case readers can't subscribe to keeping updated on your posting, neither BlogUpp! could share your articles and promote your blog.

In order to sort that out, for those that are to face this issue, please consider including the following line in the <header> of blog's html:

changing in it title and href attributes to the actual ones.

A simple way to check whether it was done correctly, is just to open you weblog in your web browser, and see if the RSS icon is enabled, meaning that it has detected your feeds.

Please note as well that empty RSS titles prevent BlogUpp! from building a blog's snapshot. If that is your case, please consider adjusting them before submitting.
