The 2 Feeds that are most important are your Channel Feed and the Feed for a single video.

- Open notepad or any text editor then copy and paste the URL below
- Where it says “youtube-channel-name-here” replace it with your channel user name

- This makes sure that the url you’ve created is correct

What do I use if there is a space in my youtube channel name? Do I use a -/+/_ or other?
Duane..just copy and paste your channel user name (as is) without a -/+/_
Does this still work? When I add ‘channels username’ as you say, are you talking about the You Tube channels name OR username to login to You Tube…….?? Also
“Replace “youtube-channel-name-here†with your youtube channel user name and replace “your-youtube-title-here†with the title of one of your videos”
Are you saying to add (-) dashes in between username?
Thank you
Yes..use your channel name.
To create your RSS Feed use the URL below..replace Your-Youtube-Channel-Name-Here with Channel name (no dashes)and Your Youtube Title Here with your title.
