This contest is replaced by a new one:

http://goldage.net/forum/showthread....838#post999838

You have to be a Premium Worker to participate

OK Goldagers, here's a new deal for blogs & sites owners:

As some of you noticed, you can now get the RSS feed from GoldAge & be updated about new content from your RSS reader even if you don't visit the forum ..

You can also display RSS feeds on your blog, & this is what this contest is about ..

Choose a feed from a GoldAge section related to your blog content & display it in your site or blog, & in the end of the month 4 blogs will be chosen randomly to win a prize:

1st Prize: A domain name of the winner's choice

2nd, 3rd & 4th Prizes: $3 paid to Liberty Reserve

Some Rules:

• Go to This Thread & post the blogs you added feeds to, but in your first post please, edit it if you add more blogs, I won't count other posts
• Do not post your blogs below, they won't be counted
• A drawing will be made in the end of the month using a software that will choose the 4 winners randomly
• If you have a few blogs, you can display feeds in all of them & have more weight in the drawing to win a prize (let's say every site will be like 1 ticket for the drawing)
• Your blog will enter the drawing every month, new blogs added in the present month have a weight of 2 & others 1 (new blogs have better chance to win)
• You can win a Domain name only once, if you won one in this round or previous rounds & get chosen again by the machine you will get a cash prize
• I may disapprove some blogs if I judge that they are not good enough, I have the right to disapprove any blog
• More rules may be added if needed.

How to Get the Feeds?

1st Method:

• Go to the section you want to get the feed from, for example Contests & Prizes
• In Firefox, you can see on the right of the Address bar an icon like this:
• Click on it, you will get two options, click on the feed of the section (not the global feed)
• Firefox then will display a page with the feeds, copy it's URL from the Address bar, it should look like this: http://www.goldage.net/forum/externa...S2&forumids=95
  
  

2nd Method:

Notice this URLs for the Contests & Prizes folder:

Folder URL:
http://www.goldage.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=95

RSS URL:
http://www.goldage.net/forum/externa...RSS2&forumids=95

What's common is the ID 95 in the end, every folder has a different ID, if you remove 95 & you put the ID of some other folder in the end of the RSS URL you obtain the RSS link of that folder. For example:

The GPT folder URL is:
http://www.goldage.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=9

9 is the ID of the GPT folder, its RSS URL then will be:
http://www.goldage.net/forum/externa...RSS2&forumids=9

To get the URLs of the folders, go to the forum's main page.

How to Display Feeds on Sites?

On Blogger.com

• Click on the Layout link of your blog if you are on you Dashboard or if you are already seeing the blog's setting pages, click on the Layout tab, once you go to the next page, make sure that the sub-tab Page Elements is selected:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• You should be seeing a box containing different areas & elements that represent the layout of your blog, inside the box click on a link named Add a Page Element
  
  
  
  
• A window should pop up, from all the elements you see choose Feed (by clicking on ADD TO BLOG)
  
  
  
  
• The next page will ask you to enter the Feed URL, enter it & click the CONTINUE button
• In the next page you choose how many items you want to display, choose 5, the other settings (title, dates & authors) are optional, you can just leave them as they are:
  
  
  
  
• Now click on SAVE button, you are back to the layout page & you can see your new page element
  
  
  
  
• You can drag the element with your mouse & put it where you want
• Once all done click on the SAVE button above the layout box
• You are done, RSS feeds should be displayed on your blog now.

Try to look for the icon or the word RSS in the browser you use .. I will add another method to get the links.

[BretHart]

I don't find it at IE

[BigMumu]

From IE 7:



I don't remember how it is in IE 6, in Opera I think it's same as FF ..

[challs12]

Hello BigMumu. I got page like below after I clicked on the RSS at firefox on link "Subscribe to GoldAge forum - Contest & Prizes - RSS feed" ...



What next BigMumu? I only have 1 blog with blogspot at the moment.

[BigMumu]

Hi Challs12, please go to the section you want to get its feed & do what you did with Contests folder, the link you need is the one you see in the Address bar of your browser (on top, where you can type & view sites URLs)



The tutorial for Blogger is just up, good luck

[challs12]

Ok I think I can understand that now. Thanks for the tutorial BigMumu. I will edit my blog when I finished working in forums tonight.
