 * I am new to RSS and need help getting RSS setup on my blog.
 * How do you setup a RSS account and then link it to the blog?

 * segcost: You must really be new to RSS, because what you said didn’t make any
   sense.
 * RSS is just another way of looking at your blog. It’s a list of your posts (called
   a “feed”) that is read by programs (called “feedreaders”).
 * WordPress already produces 3 or 4 types of feeds automatically, and you don’t
   have to do anything to enable them or set them up.

 * Okay I setup feedburner so other people can “link” to my blog when it updates.
   Not sure if it works correctly.
 * [http://www.teamisportz.com/blog/](http://www.teamisportz.com/blog/) – you can
   see RSS to the right. I subscribed to both Yahoo and Google and when I log into
   my Yahoo and Google accounts I don’t see the feeds being updated when I post 
   a new topic on the blog?
 * I read something about permalinks and ISS (I am using Windows IIS). I thought
   I had that setup correctly but maybe that is not working correctly which in turn
   messes up the RSS Feed?

 * Yahoo and Google don’t update instantly. They will get to it within a few hours
   or so.
 * Feedreaders running on your own machine would update the instant you updated.
   Yahoo and Google cache their feed hits and spread them out.

 * Perfect. That answers that question.
 * I don’t even see my “feed” listed under Yahoo – does it take awhile if a new 
   feed is created to even be able to see the “feed” (not the updated content)
 * I added another person’s blog to my Yahoo feed but when I add mine it doesn’t
   even show up?
 * When you say “host” your own feed. Is that the “mybrand” by feedburner? If we“
   host” that then our updates will be distributed right away?
