Feed URL of Blogger Website with Smaller Size

Recently i was submitting my blog for automatic post sharing on dlvr.it , which is a good platform to share your recent posts on social networks through automation. Here you need to add a few routes and get your facebook and twitter accounts connected and add the website feed URL. Initially it was fun and everything went fine. But recently it stopped sharing my posts on facebook and twitter.


As i investigated into the matter, i found that it was because my website has become bigger and the number of posts has increased. This enlargement affected the feed size.
Previously i was using the following feed URL :
https://www.websitename.com/feeds/posts/default?=rss

The it was showing that the feed size is more than 512 KB. But the feed size was beyond my control. I tried to submit the sitemap URL, but that didn't work.

I tried following URLs but nothing was of any use.

  • https://www.websitename.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
  • https://www.websitename.com/atom.xml 

Above URLs included both RSS and Atom feed.

At last i got the solution after looking at the following URL
https://www.websitename.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100

The end of the above URL indicated that it will create food of only 100 posts. However my task can be easily accomplished just by using 10 most recent posts. So i created edited the last value in the above URL from 100 to 10 . It worked perfectly for me. The final product was :
https://www.websitename.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=10

If you have also faced the same problem with your blogger feed URL, the most probably the above solution will work for you. Just don't forget to relace the name of your blog/website in the above feed URL.
