Tips & Warnings
If your Blogger template doesn't have "Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)" at the bottom of the page, you can find the RSS Atom feed URL by clicking the orange RSS button in your browser's URL field (in Firefox and Chrome) or browser tabs (in Internet Explorer).
It is a good idea to let your Twitter followers know that the links your feed posts to your Twitter are blog posts by adding a prefix like "New Blog:" or "Blog Post:" in your Advanced Settings section when creating your Twitter feed.
You can also syndicate your blog posts to Facebook, Hellotxt and Statusnet from your Add Services dashboard in Twitterfeed.
