Constructing Your Feed URL

The key issue is the proper construction of the URL that allows Planet Jaspersoft to access your feed.
Blogger and Blogspot

In Google's blogging system the feed URL for the specific label, Jaspersoft, is:
http://<yourblogname>.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/-/Jaspersoft

Wordpress.com
On the Wordpress.com site the feed URL for the specific label, Jaspersoft, is:
http://<yourblogname>.wordpress.com/tag/jaspersoft/feed.
Find help with Wordpress feeds at: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Feeds
For other versions of Wordpress that you may have running through various ISP's, the above URL format may work. If not, check the version and follow the Wordpress link for more information.
YouTube Playlists
The URL for the a playlist feed is:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/<playlist_id>
The last piece of the URL, <playlist_id>, is the Playlist identifier. This identifier appears in various places, such as in the Sharing feature for embedding the Playlist in an HTML page. It's a lengthy string of characters that probably begins with the letters PL.
Note that the domain part of the URL begins with the subdomain, gdata, rather than www.
Other Feeds
Other feeds should work with basic RSS-style URL's. Check the particular documentation for the website. Leave a comment below and, if there is enough interest, we'll publish instructions for it.
