Finding RSS feeds for blogs you want to share

If you want to use the smart scheduler with a specific blog as the source or want to bulk schedule with that same blog, you'll want to use the RSS feed. 📅 🔗 

Vista Social can usually find the RSS feed from the blog site's meta tags automatically - no heavy lifting from your end!

Sometimes you may run into a site where that's not so automatic, usually because the site's meta tags don't provide such easy instructions to find the RSS feed ─ don't worry, there are other ways to find it!

Here's how to find RSS feeds for:

• WordPress blogs
• Shopify blogs
• Medium blogs
• Tumblr blogs
• Blogger blogs
• Other blogs (using Page Source)

WordPress blogs

To find a WordPress blog's RSS feed, just add /feed to the end of the URL. For example: https://coffeeaffection.com/feed

Since almost 15% of the websites in the world are powered by WordPress, you'll usually get this right away!

Shopify blogs

To find a Shopify blog's RSS feed, you'll want to add .atom to the end of the URL. For example, using this blog's URL, https://ravecoffee.co.uk/blogs/news, we'd use https://ravecoffee.co.uk/blogs/news.atom instead 

Medium blogs

To find a Medium blog's RSS feed, you'll want to add /feed/ to the end of the URL. For example, https://ravecoffee.co.uk/blogs/news/feed/

Tumblr blogs

To find a Tumblr blog's RSS feed, you'll want to add /rss to the end of the URL. For example, https://ravecoffee.co.uk/blogs/news/rss

Blogger blogs

To find a Blogger blog's RSS feed, you'll want to add /feeds/posts/default to the end of the URL. For example, https://ravecoffee.co.uk/blogs/news/feeds/posts/default

Other blogs (using Page Source)

If the blog isn't built with any of the tools above, or you're just not sure, you can usually find the RSS feed easily with your browser's Page Source tool.

1. Right-click on the blog and select "View Page Source"

2. Using the Find function (CTRL/CMD+F), look for "rss"

You can also look for "feed" or "atom" to locate it:
