Could not detect a feed for this URL?

The below post is dedicated to Calvin.

Could not detect a feed for this URL? Add this URL anyway?

Does this sounds familiar to you? I'm sure you have been trying to add your new favourite blog to your blogroll,but you are unable to get update on their latest gossip or the latest hunk being featured.

Well, I am trying to add Strictly Gay to my blogroll for a long time. However, I am never able to get update on his latest post.

Feeling frustrated, I have googled for solutions and this is what I found.

You can change the url you are trying to add to this:

http://blogname.com/atom.xml
or
http://blogname.com/feeds/posts/default
you just have to add atom.xml and if won’t work add feeds/posts/default instead.
For example: just type http://strictlygay.blogspot.com/atom.xml and add to your blogroll.

It is that simple!
I am sure bloggers like Alexander the Gay and Bedtimes Story are experiencing this problem with their blog also. I am unable to detect updates from them.

If you know about this tips already, ignore it. However, if you do not know, I think it will be useful.

Credit are given to Techpehpot for the tips.
