If you missed my last post talking about the Importance of grouping an RSS feed, feel free to click the link. Today I will talk about how to organize your feeds and tags.
For this example, I will use google reader because it is my reader of choice. But you can use any reader, and this example will be pretty close to other readers of your choice.
Four steps to complete to add a folder and feed to your reader for organization.
* Log into your google reader.
* Locate the feed you want to place in a folder.
* Click the drop down arrow next to the feed and add new folder.
Now that you know how to create new folders. Add all the feeds to the folders you created. A quick way of doing this is by clicking subscriptions then manage subscriptions. These options are located on the left in the side bar.
Ok, you start organizing your feeds and come across two articles that are related but you do not want them in the same folder. For example, you may have a news article that is strong for Search Engine Optimization and may be related to another blog post that is strong in SEO. You may not want those feeds in the same folder, but want it to remind you that both are related when you are viewing a certain bucket. There is a way, and this is called Tags. These are key words or phrases you add to a single post instead of an entire feed. Because a certain feed may not always talk about the same thing you can link the certain article with another by using keyword tags. This will give you the opportunity to see both articles when viewing the hits on the tag you created "SEO."
Three steps to take when creating tags for your feeds.
* Click the post you would like to add a tag to.
* Clck edit tags at the bottom of the post.
* Type the tags you want, seperated by commmas and click save.
You now have created tags for your RSS feeder. This will now put your favorite posts Keywords into the search engines.
