5 Ways to Use SquidUtils RSS Feeds

Top Five Tips
Many lensmasters are already aware of the great tools and tricks available from SquidUtils. When you sign in, you can do things like: create affiliate links that work with Squidoo HTML rules, do a Squidoo only Google search, or check backlinks for your lenses.

You can also view and grab RSS feeds of your lenses and groups, your latest updates, your Squidcasts or your favorite lensmasters’ Squidcasts. This is an incredibly handy resource, but what can you do with it? Plenty!

Here are just five things that you can do with your lensmaster feeds:

1. Add to your lensography, groupography or plexography.
The next time you create or edit a Squidoo-ography about yourself, add one of your Squidoo feeds to show off some of your lenses and groups. Use the recently updated feed to show readers what you've been up to.

2. Add to your Yahoo home page.
If you’re using Yahoo for Flickr, MyBlogLog or email, you can add RSS feeds to your home page. Throw up a feed of your latest lens updates and your favorite lensmaster Squidcasts.

3. Add to your Tweetfeed.
You can add additional RSS feeds to your Tweetfeed home page. Why not use thefluffanutta’s new Pipes program to include feeds of your lenses by category or tag? Use the same keywords as your Tweetfeeds.

4. Add to your Lijit content.
You can add many RSS feeds to your Lijit content or network. Keep your Lijit searches up to date with a feed of your lenses and groups.

5. Add to your blog.
Place a feed to your latest Squidcasts on your blog or other website. Be sure to see pmolinero’s tips on adding backlinks to your Squidcasts. This will allow you to highlight important updates and information from your latest lens, and help draw in readers from outside of Squidoo.
