      What is an “external feed”? Is that where I post a link to my blog? Do I need to do anything else to make it work?

      It’s not quite as simple as pasting a link. Do you know what an RSS feed is? (It’s a machine and human-readable format). Most blogs have an RSS or ATOM (another flavour of the same thing) feed. Groups can use these feeds to get the headlines from an outside blog.

        I went into much greater detail a while ago with a post about how to find your RSS feed.

        Another winning post? How do you find the time?

        I borrowed a Tardis.

        Seriously though, I just keep writing. Almost every day. Over time it gets easier to write to a high quality with a reasonable volume of posts. At least I hope so because I’m constantly behind on my self-imposed schedules.

        I could use a Taris of my own.
