create a single rss feed using pipes by Yahoo!

Pipes can do many, many things, you can view and use a lot of the pipes created by the community on the pipes website.

I wanted a way to get all my blog feeds together so I can offer it as a subscription choice to my readers.

You can use your Yahoo! account information to login to pipe, but you can also easily create an account if you don’t already have one.

First, click on the “create a pipe” button on the top right of the page.

Next, drag in the ‘fetch feed’ pipe from the left navigation.

Add in your feed url into the text fields, you can click on the little ‘+’ sign to add as many feeds as you need.Once you are done, you can save your pipe, and/or publish it, I just chose to save mine, as it is just for personal use, but if created a really useful pipe, it’s probably a good idea to share it with the community.

Once you view your pipe, you should see your recent blog posts show up, much like your regular feeds.

I could not figure out how to actually get the actual rss url for my pipe, so I clicked on the ‘rss’ button, selected my feed reader, then grabbed the url from there. I burned that rss url in feedburner and I was ready to go!!

I then added my Adventures in Motherhood feeds, and created a ‘super’ rss feed, if you will, of everything by me!
