Most of you know I am working on building a “blog” in my site - and did accomplish it with help from walt and many others. I did this so that it is part of my site and can drive traffic to it.
now - I want people to subscribe to my main page via email or rss ( so when ever it updates they get an email) like you would a blog - because my first paragraph of the blog is on the front page.
but because it is not a true blog readfeader is not reading it as such.
A. is there a way to make readfeeder think of it as such?
b. is there a way for people to subscribe and have them auto emailed when the page is updated.
If your home page publishes an RSS feed, and you always update that feed when you add a new story, then I believe that an RSS reader will notice that and ping the reader that there have been changes. Try this experiment: subscribe to the feed for this thread, then post your reply. Look in your feed reader (might take an hour or so to update – it’s not instantaneous, and not all readers check their subscriptions more frequently than that) but you should see the feed update in your feed reader, and you should get whatever notification that application gives you (badge with number of unread feeds, usually) alerting you to the fact.
As far as an e-mail alert goes, I’m not sure what readfeeder is, if it’s a Web service or what. It shouldn’t be that hard to mash up a periodical check for changes on your site with a message sent out to interested subscribers. But if you are sending more than a few of these at a time, there are legal and technical reasons why you want to use a service like MyEmma or MailChimp to manage the list and send the mail. There are federal laws that require you to provide an opt-out link in every message you send, and you have to honor those requests immediately and maintain an audit trail.
I do get this and a few others in my google reader.
readfeeder is with google. many people use it to link their blogs / feed to allow others to subscribe to it. click ont he subscribe on my home page and then google - that is part of readfeeder/

There is a new Softpress Action (kinda new, anyway) for creating an RSS feed on your Freeway page. Give that a try. My ancient (and incomplete) pass at this same problem is here: http://freewaypro.com/actions/simplerss
What I would imagine you want to avoid is having to type anything twice. My Action was based around this ideal (you could have a visible element on your page create a feed, or you could hide that element and simply use it as a data source), but it’s not as flexible as the much newer Action from Softpress.
I will try it - add it to the HTML box that has the blurb in it for the blog - even if that is updated then people will see that to read more - I will post when I have it up and tested
Thank you

It looks as though you used my EasyRSS Action here. It also looks like
you applied it to styled text, despite the warning not to do that.
Your RSS feed consists entirely of the letter A as the headline, and
the word SPAN as the body. You can see the mess of errors here:
What you need to do in order to use this Action is provide it with a
single HTML box containing the Title of the post linked to the post
itself, followed by another paragraph containing the short description
of the post. Neither the link nor the paragraph that follows it can be
styled in any way within Freeway. If you want to apply styling by
applying a named style to the box they’re in, you can do that, and in
my example page, that’s exactly what I did, which is why it doesn’t
look that awful. But if you apply any kind of style within Freeway,
you will confuse the Action all to bits and get this sort of awful
result.
Did you try the official Softpress feed generator Action yet? That’s a
lot newer and might actually work better with your page.

Ugh I did not see that about styles… Sorry. I will work on this.
I hate to say no … When I searched rss feed in softpress nothing came
up about an action. Where can I find this?
Thanks for your help and patience!

It’s here, but it means double-typing as far as I can tell. It turns
an entire page into an RSS feed, so you have to have a sacrificial
page that you update in tandem with your home page.
I guess I better dust off that old Action and start making it better
able to deal with styled links.

The Softpress solution, to be clear, requires double-typing, because
you must maintain a separate page as your feed. The entire feed is
changed from HTML to RSS XML by the page action. So you can’t do
anything like designate a particular text box to be your feed content
when you use that system.

Ok, I added that - great!
went to feedburner and it recogonized it as a feed - but in goggle reader it is not showing any of the text from that box.
also when you click on the link in google reader - it says the file is not available.

I will try it - add it to the HTML box that has the blurb in it for the blog - even if that is updated then people will see that to read more - I will post when I have it up and tested
Thank you

There is a new Softpress Action (kinda new, anyway) for creating an RSS feed on your Freeway page. Give that a try. My ancient (and incomplete) pass at this same problem is here: http://freewaypro.com/actions/simplerss
What I would imagine you want to avoid is having to type anything twice. My Action was based around this ideal (you could have a visible element on your page create a feed, or you could hide that element and simply use it as a data source), but it’s not as flexible as the much newer Action from Softpress.
What have you entered in the Link field in the Actions palette? That should be a fully qualified URL to your site, so http://grassrootsweb.net goes in there. Be sure to fill in Title and Description with something meaningful. And un-check the Delete Source box. Other than that, it just works here when I try it out.
ok I fixed that sort of - it is showing the first sentence - but when click on the arrow it gives me the same error as before … I Would think this would go to the site to see more.
what are your thoughts?
I do really appreciate all of your help!

please let me know what you guys think… does it work for you… when you click to read more (on your rss reader) does it go to the blog posting? It does on my site. or does it go to the main page.
