BlockRocker RSS > Create New Feed

You can create your very own custom RSS feeds from BlockRocker. Your feed will be updated every time a Classified is posted in the area you specify using the map on the left.

Create Groups and Clubs
Your RSS feed will also be publicly available for others to subscribe to, making it fast and easy to create neighborhood groups and share postings with your friends.

  1. Check the list of previously created feeds to make sure there isn't a relevant one built for you already.
  2. Use the map to find the area that you'd like to have an RSS feed for. Instructions for map use are below.
  3. Enter a descriptive name for your feed. Examples: "Boston - Downtown," "NYC - Upper East Side," "Rhode Island Free Stuff," "Dave's Neighborhood Classifieds."
  4. Click "Create RSS Feed for This Area" to create your feed.
  5. From the Confirmation page, use your RSS Reader to subscribe to your new feed.

That's it, you're good to go. Everytime a classified is posted to the area indicated, your RSS feed will be updated.

Using the Map

  1. Click the and icons to zoom in and out.
  2. Use the arrow icons to move around, or just click and drag in the map itself.
  3. When you've found the right area in the map, use your mouse to click as closely as possible to the item's exact location - usually your home. Note that the precise location of your item will never be made public.
  4. A marker icon will appear where you have clicked, and this is where your classified ad will be listed.
  5. You can change your location by clicking the marker icon to erase it, and clicking again to create a new marker.
  6. When you are satisfied with your location, click "Continue to Step Two" to continue.
