Customizing the Auto Discovery Link for Your NewsCloud Channel RSS Feed

You can now override the default RSS feed for you NewsCloud Channel. Usually, your NewsCloud channel RSS feed is:

http://www.newscloud.com/rss/channel/<your_member_name>/

But now, if you login and visit your channel page e.g. http://www.newscloud.com/channel/<your_member_name>/, you can click Change Settings and place a custom URL for your RSS feed.

So, for example, if you use a service such as Feedburner to republish your NewsCloud feed, place the URL for the new RSS feed here: e.g. http://feeds.feedburner.com/newscloudJeff.

NewsCloud will now publish the new RSS address in the autodiscovery link of your NewsCloud channel feed. The autodiscovery link is used by browsers for detecting RSS feeds - as well as Web crawlers for indexing.
