This is the third installment of a short series of posts written to help you achieve a better understanding of your blog feeds, and how you can use them. In this post, I will explain about the "Label" and "Per-post" feeds, and how you can create links to these feeds in your blog.
The URL required to find the feeds for Labels and Per-post comments are very different to those we used to find the blog-wide posts and comments feeds, and require a full post to discuss them! Rather than using the blog's url, we need to use the blog's unique identification number, and in the case of per-post comment feeds, the unique post identification number.
First we notice that the feed URL is located at "www2.blogger.com", and that the feed is located by your blog's unique identification number. Notice also the "/-/" section: this is what defines the feed as being attributed to a label.
As in the previous examples, the feed type can be default, summary or full. The label name is that of a label you have defined in your blog. This is case sensitive, so ensure you have correctly defined the label name in the url (ie: Blogger is different from blogger).
Only posts can be shown in the label feeds: comments are disabled and cannot be displayed.
You may well want to experiment with this to see your label feeds for yourself. But how do you find your unique blog ID?
The numbers highlighted in red would be your blog ID. Of course, this will be different for your own blog than the number shown here, since each blog has a unique identification number.
Once you've experimented with the feeds for different labels, you may well want a way to display links to these feeds too.
If you would prefer to provide such a link for all of your blog posts, you should follow the instructions on this page which explain how best this can be achieved.
Label feeds can only show posts, not comments.
In the next post in this series, I will explain in general how you can syndicate your feed using Feedburner and AddThis.
