Ben's Blog Navigation Tip: What is the Multimedia and the World Wide Web for Education Course Blog Feed?

The Multimedia and the World Wide Web for Education Course Blog Feed is a subscription to the subject Blog in the University of Melbourne LMS.

All you need to do is:

click on RSS in the right-hand column of the subject Blog
copy the feed website address
select a new page element in Blogger
select the Third Party/ HTML page element
paste the address in to the space available
move the page element to where you'd like it in the blog

Presto! You have an up to date feed from the LMS to your blog. i.e. Ben's Blog shows the last 5 entries made on the subject blog. Each time there is a new post, it is updated on Ben's Blog.

You can establish a feed from Ben's Blog to your blog or website by subscribing to Posts (Atom) at the bottom of Ben's Blog.
