Question about Yahoo 360?

How can I friend myspace pages on my 360 page? facebooks? and can I add feeds to myspace pages?





Thank you so much!

Question about Yahoo 360?
You can't friend any of those services to 360. Friend connections are only made with other 360 pages. However, you can add a feed from those services to your 360 page and also add a link to those pages to your 360.





FEED:


- Go to any the site that you want to get the feed from. Click on the "RSS or XML" link or orange RSS button. A RSS file will come up on the next page. (The page looks like raw code, but don't let it scare you!). If the XML page doesn't come up, click on an option in the RSS pulldown menu at the top, but don't follow through with it. Go back out and try clicking on the RSS link again.


-To add the RSS URL to your Yahoo! 360° Feeds module, click on that "XML/RSS" button and use "Ctrl-C" on your keyboard to copy the URL found in the address bar of your browser.


- Click the "Add a Feed (via RSS)" in your Feeds module on your "My Page" in 360. Use "Ctrl-V" to paste the URL into the "Add a feed" space in that page. (You may need to try it several times, if an error comes up but you're sure the URL is correct). When you're done, click the "Save" button below.





NOTE: Please note that feeds are updated on a schedule, so it may take a few hours before your feeds appear on Yahoo!.


Also, try to visit your feeds more often and make sure that the URL or XML addresses are updated for the feed. If there is an XML address available, try that one instead of the URL (this last tip courtesy of Star-dust, I believe).





The general help page has instructions -

Then, the Yahoo team's blog has a post on the subject at -


http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1qCkw2Eha... . Even more information is available at http://developer.yahoo.com/rss/ .





ADD LINKS (which need to be absolute ones - starting with http:// , ending with .com or something similar):


* To your Blast (see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/pro... )


* To your Blog Roll (see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/blo...


* To the "homepage" area of your Profile Module on the "My Page."


And of course, you can add it to a blog entry (use the "Add Link" button above the compose area).
