I am setting up Googles RSS Feed for the follow feature. I am following this documentation: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/mobile/google-discover
I have tested the follow feature out - I followed the correct RSS Feed on my site using the follow feature on Chrome mobile, but it just get the message “Waiting for content”. I tried adding a new blog post to see if it would pick that up, but nothing changed. I have successfully validated my RSS Feed here: https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=
Here is an example of what I put in my document head:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://example.com/feeds/blog-detail" />
What am I missing to get the follow feature to work on my site? Do I need to submit the RSS Feed somewhere like a sitemap?

I am trying to share following post/page on my google plus account https://www.schoolmykids.com/parenting/importance-of-father-daughter-relationship/
Instead of TITLE of the blog, google plus is showing me just the site name.
Please suggest how to resolve this issue except for my actual blog/article page all pages are showing correct tile while sharing on google plus.
Try modifying your page to add meta tags with Open Graph properties. This should work for sharing either on Google+ or Facebook. Using these OpenGraph properties you can specify descriptive meta data about your page such as your page title, a brief description, an image, etc.
For example:
<meta property="og:title" content="The Importance of the Father-Daughter Relationship" />
Here are a couple of links to get you started:

i have just finshed the site signum.team but google is not indexing it, it says that "there is no information available because of robots.txt". but that is weird because i have the robots.txt saying:
User-agent: Googlebot
Allow: /
signum.team/robots.txt
so that should let google see everything. i did this 2 days ago and i have seen online that google should see it in a day. so does someone know what i can do to make sure google sees it?
If you see the source code of your website:
meta name='robots' content='noindex,follow'
You're forcing Google to not index your page / website, please either remove it or replace it with index from noindex so it should look like this;
meta name='robots' content='index,follow'
Login to your WordPress site with admin access.
Go to Settings > Reading and under
Search Engine Visibility uncheck the box and you are now good to go.
Because if this box is checked it adds following code and as a result Google or any search engin cannot read your site.
<meta name='robots' content='noindex,follow' />
Cheers.
I want to create a RSS feed based on the Tumblr tags I use. I want to submit some of my posts to a blog syndication service. To the blog syndicator I have to provide a RSS feed. But I don't want all posts to appear there. Is there a way I can do something like this?
When I tag a post with a specific keyword: (eg: #blog) the post will
get added to the RSS feed.
If the #blog tag is not there, the post doesn't get included to the RSS feed.
OP found the answer themselves here it is:
mydomain.tumblr.com/tagged/tagx/rss
Adding /rss after a tumblr URL apparently generates an RSS feed (probably only if the blog has enabled RSS).
I've created a RSS 2.0 feed for my podcast, but when I test it in iTunes (Advanced -> Subscribe to podcast..) no episodes are showing.
I haven't yet added iTunes specific tags, since I though they were not required. Are they? Is there any way to debug why it's not working? It is a valid RSS 2.0 feed according to W3C's feed validator.
The <link>s in your <item>s should be <enclosure>s instead. See the feed specs example feed:
<enclosure url="http://example.com/podcasts/everything/AllAboutEverythingEpisode3.m4a" length="8727310" type="audio/x-m4a" />
How can I find if a given page has RSS Feed available as browsers (FF) show RSS icon in address bar if the page has an RSS feed?
Look into the source of this very page. You will find the following <link>:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml"
title="Feed for question 'Finding RSS Feed'" href="/feeds/question/2022542">
You should be able to parse any HTML page with a DOM parser, and look for alternate links of the correct type.
