How Do I Put an RSS Feed on My Web Page?

Yesterday a web designer e-mailed me this question:

“We have a client who wants to be able to post an article to their WordPress blog and have it show up on their Web site.  Your article recently talked about how to get WordPress articles to post to Facebook and Twitter which was great, but do you know of a way to get it to post to their Web site too.”

Great question. If your blog is on Blogger or WordPress, you might want to promote your most recent blog posts on your website too.

Publishing blog post titles, a link and a short description of your most recent blog articles on your web page keeps your company’s website fresh. It also helps you get more subscribers to your blog.
