Making your blog Postgenomic friendly

The basics

Is your blog registered with Postgenomic? Go to the search page, select “Blogs” and type in part of the name of your blog. If it doesn’t appear then your blog probably isn’t on the list of blogs that Postgenomic indexes.

Postgenomic only indexes blogs with substantial scientific content (or content that would be of interest to somebody working in science). To suggest that a blog be added email Euan.

If your blog does appear, then perhaps we’re collecting the wrong feed? Click through to the details page (just click on the blog title). Click on the orange feed icon - is this the correct URL of your RSS feed?

RSS Feeds

Postgenomic collects data from your blog using its RSS feed. If it’s not in the feed, Postgenomic can’t see it.

Ideally your feed will contain full-length posts (not just excerpts), including any links in those posts.

If you use a feed republishing service that isn’t Feedburner then let us know. If you do use such a service then the citation numbers for your posts will be wrong (because we think your posts are at URLs like http://url.of.republishing.service/, but everybody else is linking straight to the real URL).

At a pinch - say if you really don’t want to give everybody full-text posts in your feed - why not make another feed just for Postgenomic and drop us a line?
