Displaying Youtube Video Feeds in Your Blog

Showing latest posts from other blogs in your site is now much easier. Thanks to RSS widgets but what if you want to display the latest videos from your favorite youtube user?

Non-working Youtube RSS Feeds
Unlike most websites and blogs that show RSS icons, youtube does not readily show RSS links. Worse, the youtube instruction on How to Access RSS Feeds does not seem to work. I tried to follow the suggested url format (feed://www.youtube.com/rss/user/youtube/videos.rss) under Youtube’s RSS Feeds for Tags and Users section but my site did not recognize the youtube feed.

RSS URL Format
Fortunately, I was able to find a post that gave a working instruction on how to display youtube feeds in your blog. Too bad I no longer remember the site. I should have cited it for reference. Anyway, if you want to show youtube video feeds in your blog, simply follow this url and change the username.

http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/Username/videos.rss

You can now use your new Youtube RSS link to display latest youtube video links in your blog.
