Something wrong with Blogger Help: Label-specific site feed

I found this page on Blogger Help. It is about Blogger's various feeds and its URLs for each blog hosted on her. I found something strange on its description. See below:

Full site feed:

  • Atom 1.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
  • RSS 2.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

Comments-only feed:

  • Atom 1.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default
  • RSS 2.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/default?alt=rss

Label-specific site feed:

  • Atom 1.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/posts/comments/default/-/labelname
  • RSS 2.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss/-/labelname

Individual post comment feed:

  • Atom 1.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/postId/comments/default
  • RSS 2.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/postId/comments/default?alt=rss

Look! The strange difference on "Label-specific site feed" section!

After I try it out, I found it is really two typos of this article! It should be corrected as this:


Label-specific site feed:

  • Atom 1.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/labelname
  • RSS 2.0: http://blogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/labelname?alt=rss

For example, if you want to track my new posts with label "Hacks" on this blog, you can subscribe to either one of the following URLs


Someone should tell Blogger about this!

  1. You are so right! Thank you! I've been trying to figure out why my rss integration wasn't working for label posts.
    cheers!
