VFLyer Gallery into RSS Feed

Here's an idea:  If you have a VFlyer account, did you know you can turn your VFlyer gallery into an RSS feed?

From the VFlyer Flyer tab, click View Account Profile

That will take you to screen displaying a gallery view of all your active listings.  Select and Copy the URL (web address). (It will look something like this http://www.vflyer.com/home/Listing.jsp?acctId=1077084 --that's the gallery view for Above The Rainbow Jewelry, one of my pro bono** web site clients :-)  )

Go to FeedBurner and paste that URL into Feedburner's "Burn a feed right this instant" box.

Click through Feedburner's steps, then copy FeedBurner's newly assigned feed address.  It will look something like this:  http://feeds.feedburner.com/AbovetherainbowsListings

Using a plugin such as FeedWordPress or WP-o-Matic, you can plug that feed into an existing WordPress blog.  Then each time you add a new listing to your VFLyer account, a post with a link to the VFlyer will automatically show up in your WordPress blog.

(P.S. Now that I've updated FeedWordPress to the 2009.0618 version, I've returned to using it over WP-o-Matic.  WP-o-Matic wasn't displaying embedded videos...)

**  I've been helping Lilian get started with an online presence for her jewelry-making.  What I've learned about product photography, building an etsy shop, etc., etc., has been more valuable than charging her money.  :-)  )
