I'm setting up my profile on Amazon Connect. It's a program for authors & narrators to communicate with their audience. It's asking for my RSS Feed so I can connect my blog to my profile. When I tried it, it says it wants my RSS Feed Address, not a web page address. This is my RSS Feed link to my blog:

http://www.tomdheere.com/.feed/blog.html

How do I figure out what my RSS Feed Address is?

You have to be signed up with a feed provider -- does Amazon connect have a feed choice in the setup? If not, go to Feedburner.com and burn yourself a feed. It will give you something that looks like this:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/feedburner/Geeh

that "Geeh" is what sends the feed to MY blog (that's the RSS feed for my blog up there).

It's free to do Feedburner and you get a lot of other goodies, too.

Tom,

I second CC's comments about the value of using Feedburner to manage your RSS feeds. And Feedburner in turn will give you an RSS address you can put into your Amazon account.

http://www.feedburner.com/

Check it out.

I think it worked! This is the Amazon Connect profile:

Hopefully this will mean even more exposure! Thanks for the Feedburner suggestion, guys.

Tom,

I'm seeing a link, but it leads to an empty entry. I'm not sure your Yahoo! blog is playing nice with either Feedburner or Amazon.com yet.

It popped up a few minutes a go. It's a blank entry than contains the Feedburner tracking code. I don't think I did it right...
