Quick-Start Instructions

Notice this opened in a separate window so you can keep this displayed while you work with the Enfeedia site in your original window.

If you want to get started now, follow these three easy steps to publish your news feed in just a few minutes:

1. Get an Account

On the Enfeedia home page, go to "Get A Free Account" to sign up. Submit your account name and password (and write them down). Then follow the instructions. Enfeedia will verify your email address by sending you an email with a special code that you enter into a form on the Enfeedia site. After completing the email verification process, your account will be opened and you can proceed to creating a feed and adding news items to it.

2. Start a Feed

Click "Set Up Feeds" in the menu bar to create your first feed. In the next window, enter a name for your first feed, then click "Perform Selected FEED Operation". In the next window, fill out the form. For now, you can just skip the optional entries at the bottom. After entering requested information in the form, click "Submit". You will get a confirmation window about the feed you just added. But please note, this feed does not yet have any items in it, and until you add an item, the feed will not be published.

3. Post an Item to that Feed

Now add a news item to this feed by clicking "Publish Items" in the menu bar. In the next window, select "Add an Item" and click "Perform Selected ITEM Operation". Fill out and submit the form. The next window confirms the addition of the news item to your new feed. Then use the menu bar to select what you want to do next.

Remember, until you post your first news item onto your feed, your feed will not be published. Should you try to view your feed, you will see a "404 Not Found" screen because your feed file is not generated until a post an item onto the feed.

Go feed 'em!

After posting an item onto your feed, you can promote it at "Stylize & Promote News" and format your news feed displays. Learn all about promoting your news feed at Now What?.

At Stylize & Promote News, you can get your news feed address, your NewsPage address, HTML code for an RSS News Feed icon that links to your news feed and the news feed page icon that links to your NewsPage, and code for displaying your news feed on your web site; we will generate all that for you. But if you just can't wait and want some of that now, plug in your ACCOUNTNAME and FEEDNAME into the following and you've got 'em...
