You probably know that the Indie Business Network places a premium on empowering our members to find their voice through blogging. Over the years, we've hosted dozens of private and member events designed to show our members the power of blogging, and to equip them to do it right. Today, with the Indie Business Bloggers Network, we're making it easier for you to see what our members are blogging about!
The graphic above illustrates that the RSS feeds of each one of our members with a blog appears just minutes after they publish a new blog post, making it easy for you to click and read their latest updates at our See the bigger, live version at our Indie Business Bloggers Network page. (Yes! This is so important that we've devoted an entire page to it!) Whether you want to get a new recipe or manufacturing technique, see the latest news from one of our member handmade entrepreneurs, find out how to be more successful in your creative business, or just learn something new each day, you can get it all through this RSS feed!
The above graphic is just a graphic. It's not a live feed. To see our live feed on a special page (which we will share to help our members market their businesses), click here. Don't forget to share!
And if you have a web page at your blog that you'd like to devote to sharing this information, you can use the “get widget” link at the bottom (see it here) to paste the code and create a page at your own site that feeds member posts. It's a great way to give your friends something else to do, see, and learn at your website.
Don't like the big version? Get the smaller version, perfect for the sidebar at your blog. Here's how it looks.
To paste it at your site, jut click “Get Widget” at the boggom, and an “Embed Code” popup will appear. (Don't forget to enable popups in your browser to see it!) Simply copy the code and paste it where you want it to appear at your site. You don't have to use a title designator if you don't want to, but if you do, “Latest From Indie Bloggers!” so we an be consistent across the Internet. After that, you're done!
Anyone can add the widget to their site, but you have to be a member in order to have your blog feed included. You can join here.
