Site Feed Confusion
Anyone know what the hell I have to put in the boxes below to make a site feed work?
I have no idea what form the urls/paths/filenames should be in :-)

You probably just have to set the site feed to YES :)
Thanks :-)
I don't know how blogger works, do you have ftp access to thehiddentrail.co.uk
I'm going to assume you need to input into blogger admin the ftp details of that site,. then you neeed to put the path to a directory on the server where the rss feed will live.
it seems all very complicated really.
if you have access to thehiddentrail.co.uk then just install wordpress ;-) it's a hell of a lot nicer.
you\re on andy's servers aren't you?
Ive got FTP access, and its hosted on Andys server
I did try wordpress, but i cocked it up and gave up almost straight away :-)
I havnt really got the patience to sit and work wordpress out when this looks ok and works ok too, if opnly i could figure out the bloody feed :-)
/usr/local/apache-php/home/timcave.frankencrank.com/htdocs/feeds
if you make a dir called 'feeds' and then change the permissions on it so you can write to it.
this is only a guess that this is what it wants.. but assuming it does.
tell it the filename you want is something like posts.xml
and it should create a feed called posts.xml in http://www.thehiddentrail.co.uk/feeds
*probably maybe dunno*
SORT IT OUT!
It helps to choose the updated version of blogger where you login with a Google username.
Once that's done you just choose to allow feeds (post, comments and per-post), and not worry about the URLS.
The you want something like this in your sidebar:
<!-- Feeds -->
<p id="blogfeeds">
<$BlogFeedsVertical$>
</p>
<!-- /Feeds -->
HTH :)
It still wants url stuff as its not hosted on blogger - its done through Hexten
WORK DAMMIT
rich fixed it - i was being a numpty :-)
