lol lee. hey can anyone explain to me how I can add the RSS feed to my blog?!? Villager- where are you?!? lol

 

Nevermind...looks like you already set it up.

feed://aphioni.wordpress.com/feed/

 

actully no- the other 2 blogs have an RSS feed on them- mine doesn't... i tried th link above but it said it wasn't a valid url...

 

redon1--

Congrats on your new endeavor--good luck!!

Foodie

 

Yep - freaking monitor issue. That's why I got out of the whole "HTML Hired Gun" gig.


Feh!


The Internet is a fad. Three months from now it will be all over!

 

Redon -- try http://aphioni.wordpress.com/feed

I don't know anything about how RSS works so I'm not much help other than the above link.

After Googling, I found this:

http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/03/16/adding-rss-feeds-to-wordpress/

 

Different web browsers work different ways with RSS I think. I use safari on a mac and it turns the http:// page into a feed:// page.

But they both work.

 

this worked! that's 2 mojitos for you villager... just say when!!! thanks!
thanks to you too broken skull- I have a mac too that i may have to configure...

 

really cool! me likes

 

thanks sunshine!!

 

OK now that your feed is up. You can register here:
http://www.widgetbox.com/

And once registered click on Develop Widget, then Develop Blidget. Add your blog's URL: http://aphioni.wordpress.com

and it will create a headline service that other bloggers will be able to post on their blogs.

If that is something that interests you as far as RSS feeds go.

 

cool!!! i will give that a try- i am so un-savvy on the computer- every step is a challenge for me. expect a pm soon broken skull... lol thanks for the tip.

just fyi fans- did i say fans? FRIENDS... lol there are more reviews up now and if you have ever been to any other the places, or used any of the services- PLEASE leave a comment! your feedback is what will help me convince the owners that this is one more outlet for them to get a good uzz going and not just hang on, but THRIVE in Ashburn.

 

redon1 and others--

Do you wish a "review" of the United Foods Buying Club that meets once a month in Herndon, VA? If interested--post here or PM me.

By the way--redon1--if you wish to join the Co-op--please check us out. Also, if you want some Mennonite fritters--PM me and I will drop off some for you to recuperate with at the Nature Center or elsewhere.

Have a good weekend--

Foodie

 

foodie- absolutely!!! this is a perfect example of the kind of business that could benefit from grass roots exposure.

i would love to try the fritters- thanks for the offer!

 

redon1 and others--

Just put kiddos to bed and saw your post. Thanks for the interest in UNFI Buying Club in Herndon. Check out the "United Foods..." post under the "Area Restaurants..." for updated info. Yes, we would welcome reviews/opinions regarding UNFI and my "fritter goodies".

I will drop-off some fritters at the Nature Center 01/14/08 for you if you can PM or post here around 9-10 am. I have a business meeting with some designers of restaurants and builders for our Mennonite Cafe/Bulk Foods plan late Monday. So I will be out in Broadlands area early AM on 01/14/08.

Thanks again and hope to see you at the UNFI meeting (and others)--

Foodie

 

folks- i want to THANK you for your support! Since Jan 8 when I told you about my site, I have surpassed1050 hits, been listed with LoudounExtra on washingtonpost.com, mentioned in Living in Loco- thanks Erica!- AND now there are free promotional offers from Anothai, Puccio's and Cafe Rumi all available on my site.

This will be my last post about the site- but if you attend Happy Hour next week- you will benefit from my appreciation!!!
thank you again Broadlands- i won't forget you all when the name Aphioni becomes synonymous with Zagat! lol am I overreaching, just a wee bit?

 

I can't go.

 

then come over some day when you have a few minutes- I'm working from home for another month at least- it's mojitoville from noon on around here! lol

btw- you like the new format on my site? I outgrew the old one already! woohoo!
