How to find an RSS feed on a blogspot blog.

Blogspot, thought they would make this difficult to find for some reason as,  most blogs or websites you would just type /feed or /rss something like that at the end of the URL but blogger in its wisdom decided to use this….

/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

So all you have to do is just add that to the end of the blogspot url like this…

http://lv-loves.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

This is my cousins awesome blog btw, about love, laughter, movies, books, reviews, and beauty, things she loves basically :)  

You can check that is it correct by typing that into your search bar, if its correct you will see something like this

How to check your DirectX version in Windows 7

I was concerned that I didn’t have the most upto date DirectX and for a moment I couldn’t work out how to check.  After the interest in my other “How to” blogs like the YFrog post,  I thought that other people may have the same problem, so here are the instructions on how to find out what directx version you are using. 


The DirectX technology has grown alongside improvements in graphics processing hardware, so you can get the best possible PC gaming experience on Windows. Windows 7 helps you stay right on top of your game, with the best possible visual effects. With DirectX 11, your warp-speed races and mind-bending, inter-galactic feuds can look incredible. Of course great graphics aren’t all about games. With high-end graphics hardware, you’ll also get an unprecedented visual experience for your non-gaming applications.

How to check what version of Microsoft DirectX you are using.

  • Click Start
  • Click Run or Search Run and Click. 
  • Type dxdiag press Enter 





And there you have the DirectX Diagnostic Tool


Look at the bottom of the list of specs.





DirectX Version: Mine shows it as being Version 11 – which is the latest version. 


Microsoft Download Centre. 


ATI Radeon. 
HOWEVER …. The first DX11 card from ATI was in the 5000 series. 


So you will also in some cases need to check if DirectX 11 is supported by your graphics card. 
Thanks to @BartekWodyk who pointed this out. 

Hope this helps :)
