The RSS feed is currently unsupported. However, we will continue to listen to feedback and make the appropriate changes/introductions.
The RSS feeds do not display correctly as a web page in Windows Live Mail 2012 on Windows 8.1.
Is RSS going to be supported going forward? I can't see where you can pick it up on the new web site.

Why is it unsupported? It's essential for any kind of blog variant, which is what Blipfoto is. I use it through Feedburner to automatically tweet entries, which then get picked up in Facebook, too. I'm not interested in having to manually push "share" buttons when it can be easily automated until some bright spark decides to discontinue support for a basic feature. This is not what I paid my life membership for.
It seems to me that the 'redesign' has not been thought through in relation to what Blip is all about. Features have been removed and extra clicks introduced to get basic info. Screen layout is abysmal- photos too large, too much dead space, and who thought light grey on white would be good for links?????
Really not happy at the moment. At least my 365 is coming to an end next week, and so might my blip membership.
we absolutely need rss feed! I sync my Blip account to my blog, and it's an essential part of my Blip experience.
Bit of a shame. RSS was how I chose to follow the people I follow. Is there a technical reason? I can understand if the website had adverts and you wanted to drive users to the website. I guess I'll be seeing less of my friends' photos... :)
I'd like to see the RSS feed returned, too, please.
Well that's disappointing. Only now exploring the idea of using RSS feeds to automate (exploring IFTTT) and cut off before I really started...
It's one thing to find it isn't supported, but another to find it's no longer supported.
I was really disappointed in this loss. I had my RSS feed set up to echo out to my Twitter account using IFTTT. It was very effective in drawing people into blipfoto.
That's a loss to me and it's a loss to blipfoto.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
@ParkWalker You can connect your Twitter account directly to your Blipfoto account: https://blipfoto.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/204063866-How-do-I-connect-my-Blipfoto-to-Twitter-
@pandammonium well, yes, I can ... but it sucks by comparison to what I can do using the old RSS feed. See https://twitter.com/blipout and compare the latest entry, done using your method, with the previous ones, done using the RSS feed. blipfoto want to drag people into their site before they can see the photo, I don't.
@ParkWalker I do take your point: I'd love to have the RSS feed back. Nevertheless, it's surely better to let your followers know you've blipped than not; hopefully this will be a mere workaround while Polaroid|Blipfoto reinstate the RSS feed.
Incidentally, I looked at your Twitter feed on the mobile version of Twitter first; interestingly, it was all links, whereas in the Twitter app, it showed the photos, as it does on the desktop site.
I really did't like the changes in Blipfoto since Polaroid bought the service and I stopped using it for a time. Any way I decided to give the page a chance again until today when I noticed that the RSS feed dosen't work and the answer from Polaroid is "We will see". As someone said in other commet, "this is not what i paid my membership for".
