Feed Type: Most news feeds and a lot of blogs have their feeds in RSS format, this may also be referred to as RDF format or the filename may end in .rdf Non-pro blogger feeds are now only available as Atom format


Feed URL: This is the location of the RSS/Atom feed you want to link to. Most blogs have a feed. look for this logo.


Link Target: This setting controls whether the links open in the same window (_self) or a new window (_blank) If you are hacking the javascript yourself you could set this to _top or _parent to deal with using the feed in frames, but I don't forsee a case where you would need to do this.
