Since we set up Groups on Ourmedia last month, several of them — such as Videoblogging (742 members) and Flickr (211 members) — have just taken off. Now that RSS 2.0 is working on the site, it means that not only can people subscribe to your video, audio, photo and text feeds, but you can also list your works and feeds on your own blog or website and people can subscribe to them there.
Today, Windsong described the process for doing so:
Here is the info on how to move you ourmedia page xml and mrss (short for My rss newsfeed) newsfeed to your personal web page wherever it might be on the web.
Step 1. [Log in to Ourmedia, then] go to My Controls and Open My Page.
Step 2.Once at your page view the source.
Step 3. Open note pad, you will need it.
Step 4. scroll down the source till you find a line that starts with div class=”xml-icon copy that line to notepad for editing.
Step 5.you will need to add http://www.ourmedia.org/ after href=” and scr=” anywhere in the line you find it to tell the browser where to look for the rss and xml button and where to go.
Step 6. you should delete any thing not inside of the anchor symbols which are the a’s with the < or> around them,anything next to the a counts. also the ref to & nbsp; & nbsp; as that relates to internal ourmedia stuff that won’t work on your server.
Step 7.Take what you have left on note pad and paste it to you web page wherever you want it to appear. you can use br to space it. your done.
Publish your page. If you did it right you will see the xml and mrrs button appear on your web page now when a visitor to your web page clicks on the button he will be subscribed to your personal feed here. anytime you post new work here they will get it in there feed.Now you can vlog like a Pro with your feed on your own web page from ourmedia!!
