You can get rss feeds for just about anything on squidoo from squidutils.

I have RSS feeds for one of my blogs but haven’t done much to date.I’ve bookmarked your lens for reference.

Propeller did stop accepting Squidoo lenses. Now I just submit articles and such (which have links to some Squidoo lenses) Unfortunately, many of my Squidoo related “friends” no longer stop in.

Poddys, it can be done pretty easily, stop by the squidoo chat room sometime and I’ll show ya how.

mlinekar,
RSS feeds can be awesome but remember that the way they are rendered on squidoo pages prevents the links from being indexed. It varies from site to site but if an RSS feed is pulled using java (like squidoo) than there isn’t any way for the ole google bot to see what it pulls.

I just tried to set up a feed with feedburner, think I managed it ok, however using the feed source of my Squidoo page http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/poddys I get all updates to my lenses included.

How can I create a feed that say just includes my Song Lyrics lenses, which have “Lyrics” in the title?

I tried to search yeaterday for how to do something like this, but got totally lost.

Thanks

I don’t think this would be possible with Feedburner, you probably need some way of combining multiple feeds into one feed. Yahoo Pipes may be a way to do it. I have never tried it myself, but there are lenses that can you help on Squidoo.

An alternate approach would be to create a new Squidoo account, transfer your Lyrics lenses to the new account, then use the new lensmaster feed for submission to Feedburner. Not very elegant, but a workable solution!
