Problems With Adding RSS at Yahoo


If you own a blog, to add it onto My Yahoo through a feed is common option. In order to enable this, you need to have access to My Yahoo and "add content", and then click on "add RSS by url" and insert your feed. Well, that was how it was done previously.

A few weeks ago, there was a glitch at the add content column for My Yahoo. By using the steps mentioned above, it was in vain. What happens is that My Yahoo will let you have a preview of your feed but not add it to My Yahoo page. You might ask why does that happen?

After some brainstorming and head cracking, the feed was successfully added to My Yahoo via Feedburner.com The following are the steps.

First off, you will need to log onto My Yahoo. Have feedburner.com be on your second window and log into your account that you have set up. In the page after you have logged in, you will be able to see a title that is clickable for your feed. Directly to the left, there is a title with an xml link in light grey. Click on it to have it open a new window.

When the new window opens, a light blue box can be seen and then your feed is right after that. In the blue box close to the bottom, a visible My Yahoo icon can be seen and you should click on it.

After clicking on that, the My Yahoo add content page will show with the preview of your supposed page should look like. This should be the exact preview you get when you were trying to insert the feed through the conventional way. Proceed by clicking the add content icon at the top right of the page. You should then see a page that shows both a preview and a message that indicates the successful addition of the page.

After going through these steps, it would take approximately 10 minutes for the feed to show on the My Yahoo page. Although this has not been proven to work for everyone, it has undoubtedly helped a few that faced the exact same problems and it might have a chance to work for you too. You will never know until you try.
