Feeds let you pull your personal content from other blogs and web services onto your Yahoo! 360° page using RSS (Really Simple Syndication). This lets you share all the content you create in one place.

So if you have another blog on Live Journal, Typepad, Xanga, or Wordpress, you can create an RSS feed of that blog and add it to Yahoo! 360°. You can also create an RSS feed of your Netflix queue or recommendations. Or add the RSS feed for your own podcasts. It's all about your personal content and sharing it on Yahoo! 360°.

Not sure of the RSS URL? Follow these steps:

  1. Go to your other blog or personal web site and look for a little orange button like this:. This shows that you can syndicate your content via RSS. Usually, this clickable button links directly to an RSS file. (The page looks like raw code, but don't let it scare you!)
  2. To add the RSS URL to your Yahoo! 360° Feeds module, right-click on the orange XML button to "Copy Shortcut." Or click on the "XML" button and use "Ctrl-C" on your keyboard to copy the URL found in the address bar of your browser.
  3. Use "Ctrl-V" to paste the URL into the field above. When you're done, click the "Save" button below.


Congratulations! You've just added your first feed. You can display up to three of your own feeds on Yahoo! 360°.

Please note that feeds are updated on a schedule, so it may take a few hours before your feeds appear on Yahoo!.
