I stumbled across a listing for my site on technoratti (http://technorati.com/blogs/www.tapbjj.com?posts ) and it lists a few of the articles from my site, some of the off site news feeds (from 3rd party sources) but NONE of my user contributed blogs.
What do I need to do so that user blogs go out as RSS? I assume that since I bridged SMF forums with Drupal that forum posts will never go out over RSS, but I'd like to see the user blogs go out over the wire.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

RSS On your site
http://www.tapbjj.com/rss.xml shows only a few articles.
go to http://www.tapbjj.com//admin/content/rss-publishing and change the rss number to show to 30 and Display of XML feed items:full text to have the max articles/blog posts exposure to web2.0 services.

Blogs on Frontpage
Have you enabled blogs to show on frontpage?

no the front page needs to
no the front page needs to be semi static, we want the physical address listed, weekly specials and thats about it... does it need to be promoted to front page to generate a feed?
Is Blogs Promoted to front page?
Be sure blogs are "Promoted to front page" under /admin/content/types/blog

Ok i did that, but isn't that going to cause the blogs to actually "go" to the front page and obscure important information that we 'need' there?
Won't the front page basically span on and on forever if new blogs are added to it every day?
Is there a way to at least limit blogs to the bottom half of the front page and possibly insert a mid page header that says Recent Blogs or something like that that all blogs go below?
in going through other
in going through other posts, it says something about changing settings in the syndication block under admin... I don't even see a syndication setting under administration (asside from the RSS Publishing one you mentioned earlier)
same issue here
I have a semi-static front page... set front page to a page I'd created with a welcome message, added a block to show most recent blog post... so now my site rss feed seems to be empty. I don't want to promote anything to the front page, I'm using blocks to control how new posts appear... so am I able to use a sitewide feed via rss.xml at all, or is my only option to build a block of links to my feed aliases?
