RSS Graffiti Feed Settings

 

Feed settings is where you go to edit the who, what, where and when of a specific feed. Here you will be able to fully customize each feed individually at set up or by clicking the "Edit" button on a particular feed. Below is the break down of each tab in the feed settings, how to set it up, and what each option means and does. Note: It is important to know that the values you enter in the "Profile Settings" will override your individual feed settings 

 

  1. Basics Tab
    1. Enter your feed URL (YOU MUST PUT HTTP://domain.com). You can preview how it will look by clicking the preview link.
      1. Note: If the URL you are using is coming from a blog site only (i.e. engadget) you can copy and paste the main URL. But if it is coming from the blog section of a website then you need the FEED URL. We cannot use a website URL as the feed URL. You can use this site to verify if you have a feed URL http://validator.w3.org/feed/
    2. The Source Name is the name that appears under the post on your wall.
    3. The Source URL is the URL the Source Name will take a user to when clicked on.
    4. Post Style is how you want your posts to appear on your wall. Descriptions of each posting style are listed underneath each option.
  2. Filter Tab
    1. Cut-off date/time
      1. Posts will only show up after the date listed. to change click the Change Date Link
      2. You can either select to only post stories from now on or “Select the Next Time to Publish”
        1. Note: If you check “Select Next Time to Publish” It will give you a list of all the postings on that blog along with the date and time. Whichever date you pick it will publish that story and all the stories that are more recent than it. But it will only post as often as you set under the Schedule tab which we will get to shortly
    2. Eligibility age will let you choose how long you want the story to be published for on the host site before it is posted on your wall.
    3. The Other Filtering Options section is used as advanced options for Twitter, which we will get to shortly.
  3. Transform Tab
    1. This is where you can change the way the message part of the post is displayed on your wall. Essentially what you want said as a status update above the attached article.
    2. Descriptions of each option are below the options
  4. Schedule Tab
    1. Update Frequency
      1. As soon as possible means about every 10-15 minutes
    2. Posts per cycle
      1. This states how many posts RSS Graffiti will publish each cycle it pulls from your feed. So if you put 1 post per cycle but the site you are connected to posts 4 articles it will only post the first of the four and then continue posting in the order of the precedence you set below.
    3. Precedence Tab
      1. Continuity
        1. This means that if you set the posts per cycle to 1, but the site you are feeding from posts 4 articles between your cycles, RSS Graffiti will continue pulling the posts in order of when they were posted.
      2. Freshness
        1. This means that if you set the posts per cycle to 1, but the site you are feeding from posts 4 articles between your cycles, RSS Graffiti will skip the 3 earlier posts and post the newest one.
      3. Note: These schedule options really benefit a blogger for example, that writes all his articles one day and posts them to his blog on one day but wants the posts to be spread out through the week.
      4.  
  5. More Tab
    1. Publish on behalf of
