RSS Feeds – R for Social Good

I use newsboat and Feeder as RSS services and wanted to add this blog. I determined I needed to touch up the settins my website to accomplish this task.

Guidance could be found here at the Quarto Website

I needed to add this to my quarto yaml.

website:
  title: "myblog"
  site-url: https://www.myblogexample.io
  description: "A great sample blog"
  navbar:
    right:
      - icon: rss
        href: index.xml

Please note I needed to reference blog.xml rather than index.xml

Below needed to be added to main index.qmd file.

---
title: "myblog"
listing:
  contents: posts
  sort: "date desc"
  type: default
  categories: true
  feed: true
---

I have been using Positron and noticed it is a bit different workflow and its confusing because after a preview I can push new content. I noticed my feed was not being created. I went back to Rstudio to rebuild the site. After, I rebuilt in Rstudio my feed was created and I could subscribe to my own content.
