HOW TO GET YOUR BLOG A FEED AND LINK LINES TO SOCIAL BOOKMARKING SITES LIKE DIGG,TECHNOCRATI,FURL

This tip targeted at beginner-bloggers will help to add a feed{ofcourse with a feed button}and add link lines like "digg this","Add to del.icio.us","Add to technorati" and link lines of lots other social bookmarking sites.The most easy way by which you can do all these stuff together and transform your blog is mentioned below.
1.First lets choose a feed provider site.I will reccomend feedburner.com.Its the best and free.So i will mention the process in a hope that you are currently at the feedburner homepage.
2.Create a feedburner account.All you have to do is type your blog address in that cream box.Click next.Choose your feeder type.If you use atom feed i will recommend you to get an Rss feed because feedburner and atom are just not made for each other.You can get an rss feed from rssfeedreader.com.
.If you already have an rss feed then select it an move to the next step.
3.After a couple of nexts you will reach your 'feed editing page'.Click on
optimize and then on smartfeed and activate it.This will make your feed compatible with all feed-readers.Go to publicize and click on the friendly graphic button on the 'chickletize your website' paragraph.Choose an icon.The standard ones are most popular.
4.Copy the html code.If you use beta blogger then go to template>add a page element>html/javascript>Paste the code.People normally expect it on the sidebar rather than the bottom bar.But doing this will prevent you from adding link lines.So if you want both revert to classic template but you will loose your current settings.Classic template is more practical.After reverting paste the code any where after the 'Begin sidebar' line and preview it before saving.Move around and check it out at different locations on the sidebar.
5.Now view and check whether the feedbutton is there.
6.Now lets add link lines.Before that click on pingshot and activate pinging on social bookmarking websites.That will help you popularize your blog.
7.Now click on optimize to start adding link lines.
8.You would see the checkerboxes and stuff.Lets start adding the sites of your choice.Click on 'browse the catalog'.Click on the link which is beside 'copy the url'.
9.You will get an xml screen.Dont get scared,just leave that xml stuff and copy
the address from the address bar.
10.Now paste it on the box before 'Add new flare' on the edit page.
11.Select the stuff you need and save.The items on the 'Personal feed flare' will
dissappear if you left it unchecked.
12.Now get the html code by choosing the blogging platform.{its just above the save buttom}.Follow the directions.Bingo
