Use ‘Recent Blog Column’ in forums and win a permanent link!

I noticed many bloggers use the  “recent blog area” option in some forums and others don’t. Maybe they dont have a RSS-supported blog or they don’t want to show their recent post.

In this post I will show you how to use this feature or how to use it without RSS or if you need to transform it to a permanent link.

A- – Create a file and  name it :  norss.xml

B– Write this code in the file :

xmlns:content=”http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/”
xmlns:wfw=”http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/”
xmlns:dc=”http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/”
xmlns:atom=”http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom”
>
