Last week I wrote about Feedburner's FeedFlare option that you can add to your TypePad blog. If you haven't set up Feedburner on your blog, it's a good idea to do so. You'll find instructions on page 119 of the Build a Better Blog ebook.
Today, I created a video tutorial on how to add the FeedFlare option to your blog. Watch the video and set up Feedflare. It's a great way to encourage more interactivity on your blog. If you notice on the posts on this blog, at the bottom of each post there are several links that say "Email this", "Digg this", "Add to del.icio.us" and "Subscribe to this feed." Those are "flares" that I've added.
UPDATE: I forgot an important step...you have to republish the blog in order for the feedflare to be activated for past posts.
To republish, go to the Design tab, scroll down and click on the Republish button. On the window that opens, click on the Publish button. After that, the flares should show up on previous blog posts.
If you have specific questions about this tutorial, please submit your question in the comments section below.



Thank you so much for this!! I had been seeing digg and del.icio.us links on Typebad blogs recently but couldn't figure out how people got them there. I just stumbled upon this post and learn how.
Thank You!!!!
