feeds

[wembley]

On LJ, I've always had a Basic account and therefore couldn't add feeds, so I'm not sure if this is an issue with DW (less likely but possible) or an issue with me not understanding what the heck I'm doing re: feeds (highly likely).

Basically, I'd love to read my friend's awesome blog, Monster On A Rope (highly recommended if you like reviews of cool music and weird movies, plus good writing in general) on my reading page.

So, I tried to add her as a feed.

First, I added this URL: http://atariflashback.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

And named the feed "monsteronarope." Nothing appeared on my reading page when I selected "Feeds."

I tried it again with this URL: http://atariflashback.blogspot.com/rss.xml

And named it "monsteronarope2." Nothing.

Again, with just: http://atariflashback.blogspot.com

Named it "monsteronarope3," but when I clicked, it just led me back to modify my subscription to the original "monsteronarope_feed" that I'd made.

So, now I've created these three useless things and still can't see her blog. Because I'm an idiot. Help? (Does she have to syndicate herself somehow before I'm able to see her feed? I remember having to jump through some kind of hoop with Blogger to syndicate my blog. But when I type those feed URLs, I see the feed-y lookin' version of her blog. So... um... ?)

No there is no way to do that but I think that is a really good feature suggestion for the future as I agree, it's so hard to find feeds that might be interesting rather than just browsing through an otherwise unorganized list.
