Thread: Question on RSS feeds

I'm coming along pretty well in attempting to unravel the online publishing process (faster than decoding the book self-publishing progress, I assure you) and am nearing a "launch" point; certainly before the end of the month. It's to be hoped.

One thing I am having trouble with is the whole RSS concept, and specifically how to have a button that allows people to subscribe to my serial novel.

I look at the plug-ins for WordPress and see page after page of RSS add-ons, but the all seem to be about showing feeds on the blog, not placing my blog feeds where readers can see them.

I notice a couple on the blogs here, but haven't figured out how to work them for myself.

Does anybody have any suggestions?
Does anybody use FeedBurner?

Is there a RSS (feeder?) that would allow people to subscribe, but get feeds from two or more blogs, not just one. (An "aggregator"? A "mash-up"? Does anyone have an understanding of this?)

Thank you.

Many of these questions were answered in another thread.
I placed the AnyToAdd button on my site and it seems like a very good solution for the present.

I'm still very interested in the "aggregator" concept, as I'd like to sponsor a friend's serial along with my own. Has anybody tried this?

Thank you.

I haven't tried pulling in someone else's feed, but I was thinking of starting another site and using my current one (in my signature) as a spot to pull in an excerpt of each post from the new site, just to get people reading. I'm working in Joomla, so RSS has proven to be something of a beast so far...
