How can I post my blogs on blogger to yahoo?

Question

Is there any means of sending 2 blogs from blogger to my account on yahoo? I have 2 blogs that I would like to post. It seems that yahoo 360 only allows for creation of new blogs.

Answer 1

The best you can do is an RSS feed of your Blogger blog on 360, if your Blogger blog is RSS enabled. However, the 360 RSS module is not reliable and doesn't work consistently IF you get it working.

- Go to any the site that you want to get the feed from. Look for the "RSS or XML" link or orange RSS button (okay, sometimes it's a different color). A RSS file will come up on the next page. (If the page looks like raw code, but don't let it scare you!).

- To add the RSS URL to your Yahoo! 360° Feeds module, click on the "XML/RSS" button, select the URL found in the address bar of your browser, then use "Ctrl-C" on your keyboard to copy that address.

- Click the "Add a Feed (via RSS)" in your Feeds module on your "My Page" in 360. Use "Ctrl-V" to paste the URL into the "Add a feed" space in that page. When you're done, click the "Save" button below.

NOTE: Feeds are updated on a schedule, so it may take a few hours before your feeds appear on Yahoo!, at least that what it says on the 360 help page. BUT actually, it can take days, weeks or months. Also, this will put links to the blog entries. They will not totally be on full display on your Top Page.

WARNING: Getting the link to be accepted without an error can take SEVERAL tries. I mean, SEVERAL. No kidding, even if you have the correct URL. The module is buggy. But I have eventually been successful in every feed that I've tried to add. Clearing my browser's cookies and cache & refreshing the page a few times in between might have helped. All I know is that finally the URL was accepted. If you are absolutely certain that your RSS URL is correct, keep trying.

Your other choice is just manually copy and paste the blog into Y!360's blog area. Copy the HTML version of the Blogger blog, and then compose a new entry in 360. Click the "View HTML Source" box on the entry's toolbar and paste the blogger blog entry's code, then save. You can retain formatting that you made for the entry in Blogger.
