I'm just about ready to unveil my site but I noticed that I didn't have that nifty 'Available Feeds' line at the bottom...

I tried just cutting and pasting the code from Legacy to my new site but that didn't seem to work.

Do I have to burn my own feeds in Feedburner now and go through all that?

It was automatic before but I can't seem to find the right block to add

tks

    Have you tried searching for "feeds" in the SM Help Pages?

    Okay. They're turned on in my privacy settings...but I keep getting in a dead end loop trying to add them to my new site theme design...

    How are you trying to add them to your new site theme design?

    Yes. But when I click on the wrench it just makes the 'add' menu go away (in Chrome, Firefox and Safari) and the screen locks up...

    Are you adding the feed links to Feed Content Blocks, as described in http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/1210628 ?

    I would if i could, but when I click on the wrench it just makes the customisation menu disappear. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it back without just reloading the site.

    Clicking on the trashcan does nada.

    The red highlight means you've placed that feed at the Entire Site level. If you wanted it just on one page, like your home page, you have to place it there. Go to Entire Site in the customizer and delete the block from there. You cannot delete it from the lower levels.

    I gave up and started all over from scratch with a copy of 'Octavia'
    answer to feed: http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/84266-where-do-i-find-feeds-
    answer problem I had with no galleries showing (or only folders showing) http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=242988
    (sorta like above, but not really) http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/1249025-new-problem---no-galleries-found-on-folder-pages
    I will 'unveil' after writing an FAQ for my customers to navigate the new site

    thanks for everybody's help.

    Cool beans. I have to admit I was confused. At first I thought you meant out bound feeds from your site, and then I saw you placing in bound feed blocks to your site. I completely forgot about the outbound link generator too! I may look at doing something with those and a feed block somewhere... hmmmm...

    the generated feeds ARE really cool...it's too bad the buttons at the bottom of the page from legacy are gone.

    Right now I'm playing with IFTTT and Zapier which take a feed and push out a message. Emails are a piece of cake but finding something that generates an SMS internationally doesn't seem to be.
