If you want to syndicate and share your blog posts, you will need to publicize to all you RSS feed URL.

By default within your WordPress blog, the RSS feed location is ‘www.yourblog.com/feed/’. Try it out right now!

This would be the link that you would add to your RSS reader, MyYahoo account, Google Reader or anywhere else your read your multiple RSS feeds from.
