Setting up RSS feeds in Joomla using Labels in Blogger

Project: Setting up individual RSS feeds using Labels

Description: A project to allow me to use content from a Blogger site, filtered by Labels, to provide specific content for other websites.

Project Goals: Upload a blog entry on Blogger and display on more than one site using Labels to make the content specific to the content of the webpage on a Joomla site.

I wanted to be able to create an RSS feed using Labels on Blogger so that I could create content for a few Joomla sites and only have to enter the article/content once. Feedburner is easy enough to use, but it has no easy mechanism to accomplish this. The reason I would want to do this is so that some readers might want to subscribe only for topics under a specific Label. I found out I could do this by using the following url on my SurfinWithStan.com Blogger based site.

http://www.surfinwith.com/feeds/posts/default/-/LabelName

Once I do that, all I have to do is burn the feed using Feedburner and then enter that into the RSS feed module on Joomla. If you want to do this on your site, just replace "www.surfinwithstan.com" with your blog address and "Label Name" with the particular label you want to create the feed from. An example of the final address should look like this:

http://www.yourdomain.com/feeds/posts/default/-/Internet

An example of this would be:

http://www.surfinwithstan.com/feeds/posts/default/-/Google

To see how it displays on Joomla visit http://www.salestrainingandnetworking.com/google-apps which displays RSS feeds from this site.

Other Notes: If you need any help with this, just register for an Apprentice account at the Sales Training And Networking site and ask in the forums. Good luck!

Change The Format Of Blogger's Popular Post Widget

     If you're reading this, you're probably not a 'code warrior'.  You're probably like me.  You can't just sit down and pound out page after page of ampersands, brackets and ampersands. You're more of a tweaker.      That doesn't mean you can't usually get the results you want from a template.  It just means that sometimes you have to search for helpful websites to give you some guidance. Something sort of 'specific' in context, but 'general' in terms of offering the solution. That's what this is.  It's a way to change the way your 'Most Popular Post" module in Google's Blogger application appears on your page.  Currently the widget's choices of formatting are limited to the title, how popular in what number of days, whether you show an image and a snippet of information about the posts, number of posts, and how many of the posts you want to display.  That may not be enough selection for you.  You might w

Keyboard Failed (and so did you)

Everything around you says you aren't performing. It's all digital. It's all data driven. It's all the time.   Relentless reminders of how much you should be doing, seeing, or tasting. You're the only person that's never been to Disneyland, used a smart phone, and are overweight. Here's the reality . It's just data. It has very little to do with you as an individual. It's usually based on averages in a database some propeller head thought up.  Here's a newsflash . The data dobbers are just as goofy as the rest of us. Want proof?

Video Not Available In Your Country Fix

So you just made friends with somebody cool like Paul Bond  . Even though he works for Brix , which is "only" the  4th largest workwear store in Monaghan , he's still got great taste in 'artsy fartsy' stuff. Unfortunately, he's not that bright   aware, when he sends out links sometimes.  Consequently, he sends out links to really cool stuff that YouTube says  'aren't available in your country'. Well, that's simply not true. It is available, and I have no idea why they even want to make you think it isn't. Connectivity is what all this stuff is about.  Or at least that's what I thought when I signed on almost 30 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's not the band that doesn't want you to hear their music, unless of course they are Lars Ulrich .  So what do you do? How to get around this? Read on...
