How to find the RSS feed URL for a blog (when it has one)

An RSS feed is a tool for helping people access content from your site. An RSS feed can list the articles on a website. You can read an RSS feed in an RSS Feed Reader. You can also use the feed to automatically tweet new blog posts to Twitter (X) by feeding the url to social media management tools like HootSuite, dlvr.it or SocialPilot.co.

If you go to the URL for a website's RSS feed, you'll see the text of the .xml file, which social media management tools use to pull access your content. However, different websites use different locations and names for their RSS feed. This blog post will describe the RSS feed locations of some common blogging websites.

Blogger

On a Blogger website, like this one, take the URL of the site, and add “feeds/posts/default” at the end of that URL. For my blog you can find the URL with

https://genealogiebos.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

Additionly, Blogger has an additional feed for comments on posts: https://genealogiebos.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default

SquareSpace

The RSS URL for any SquareSpace page is
the URL including its page slug, followed by “?format=rss”.
Depending on whether the built-in domain is used or a custom domain, it will look like one of these:

https://www.yourdomain.com/pageslug?format=rss
https://sitename.squarespace.com/pageslug?format=rss

Note: The RSS feeds of Squarepage page pull the 20 most recent blog posts.

WordPress

Many websites are build with WordPress - even if they have a “normal” URL. To find a WordPress RSS Feed, add “/feed” to the end of the URL, for example

https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/feed

If an error message appears, the site has no feed, otherwise the RSS Feed will appear.

Medium

If a site is hosted on Medium, add “/feed/” before the publication's name.
So medium.com/example-site becomes

medium.com/feed/example-site

Tumblr

If a site is hosted on Tumblr, add “/rss” to the end of the URL. Like this:

https://example.tumblr.com/rss>
