Have you found the Wizzley 'Fan pages feed' yet?
I hear a resounding silence. I am not surprised. You are probably not as inquisitive as myself: I go looking for buttons to press, just to see what happens. That's one of the reasons for my frizzy hair, and the steam coming out of my ears!
Wizzley has many great modules for creating great articles, as you have probably found, and realized by now.
What you may not be so aware of are the great keep-you-up-to-date facilities that tell us about our interactions.
There is the drop-down menu giving us access to pages, topics, authors and the latest comments made on the site. There are the icons that flash to tell us when we have received a new message, another comment, a new notification, or attracted a new fan.
But 'Fan pages feed'?
Where is it? What is it? Is it useful? How can I use it?
All very good questions.
The first question, at the top of this module, is one only you can answer. The answers to the other four are about to be revealed

'Where Is The Fan Pages Feed?', is simple to answer.
On the screenshot above you will see an arrow pointing to 'My Fan Clubs' in the drop-down menu associated with my username.
Click that. [On your username that is].
In the screenshot below, you will see an arrow pointing to 'Fan Pages Feed'.
Click that.

What do you get? You get this. ===>
Don't worry. It is only the results of the RSS feed having been parsed. The only thing of interest is the URL where the arrow is pointing.
Copy it to your clipboard for later.
 Fan pages feed |
First of all, what is a feed?
A feed is an RSS feed.
[For those that don't know what that is, I have included a Wiki about RSS below, which describes what a 'feed', 'RSS' or 'RSS feed' is.]
The 'Fan Pages Feed' is an RSS feed that, one might think (I did to begin with), shows us all the new articles that our fans have published.
But why would I want those?
What I want is all of the articles newly published by the authors of whom I am a fan.
That would be much more useful to me.
Just a minute.
That is exactly what the 'Fan pages feed' does!
See the feed of those here ===>
It's usefulness to me is:
I think the above points also give you an idea as to how the 'Fan Pages Feed' can be used.
In my view, no it has not.
I think it should be called:
But not 'Fan Pages Feed'.

@G_S thanks for voting in the poll. Looking, pressing, reading are all functions of an inquisitive mind. An inquisitive mind makes for good subjects about which to write. If I am interested, then so too should others. Glad you are one of the others. I shall no doubt be one of your 'others' soon.
Tell me what you find.
And tell me what it's for.
@Kazoom welcome. I shall now pop over and 'fan' you so I can see when you start to write some articles. You may want to keep an eye open for an article that I am just finishing and that will be published later today. It may well give you food for thought about what you can write about.
Thank you for the tip. I haven't written any pages I'm spending time getting to know this platform. It might have taken me some time to find that button.
@kinworm - do I call you kin or worm? Knowing is one thing. Utilizing it to your best advantage is another. Welcome to the world of the interdumdisphiliac - it is a strange but wonderful world contained in the millisecond of a synapse firing.
@Jean I think that is called interdumdisphobia. My interdumdisphilia is chronic. The science of interdumdisology has backing from the IDE and USG.
You could also be suffering from the little known Grave Damnum Syndrome - check it out on the internet. If it is as bad as I intimate from your comment I am here to help. If you can't find anything on the internet get back to me, I have all the information you need to sort this out.
Disclaimer: advice you receive over the internet is not always correct and should not be taken as gospel!
I didn't know about that until I read your Wizzley, thanks :)
Thanks for pointing this out! I'm the opposite, afraid I'll push a button and do serious damage to something.....
My button pushing antics have unearthed a treasure. I'll have to dust down my metal detector, at this rate I'll find that pot of gold.
As for the mention, you are welcome.
Well, Well, Well, I've missed yet another of the many treasures here at Wizzley. Thanks for the heads up on this little jewel, I like to think of it as Favorite Authors Feed, or the like. I'll def be using this. WOW as always a pleasure being helped along the way by your informative tutorials. Thanks for the mention!
My pleasure
