please consider setting up your dev.to account to listen to your rss elsewhere and allow for dual posting of blogs rather than posting these small "hey go read my blog over there" type things which really feel like they break the premise of this community.

Thanks for your feedback! I’ll implement the solution that you’ve mentioned!

Hi Corey,

So I've followed your advice and I've done the following:

  • I've followed the dev.to guide on how to setup the RSS integration.
  • I've integrated RSS feeds to my site (bobbyiliev.com/feed).
  • Now when I hit the Fetch Feed Now button, I get a success message Your profile was successfully updated

But besides all that no posts actually show up in my dashboard.

Do you have any ideas on what could be the problem?

Thanks a lot!

Hey Bobby,
I too was hung on the next step for a while. It isn't detailed in the instructions, but you need to edit the posts and change the header value for published to true and magically the blog will get published. I too had to get information from another blogger about how to do this as the guide that you cited gives no information about this step (and I was told that the published entry did not even exist previously which led my friend to take substantially longer to figure it out).
