Okay, I am now revealing my total and complete stupidity by asking a dumb question. I've asked a bunch of people in the "real" world, and no one knew the answer (which makes me feel marginally better about my stupidity).
I've also googled the crap out of this, and can't find an answer, which means a) it's too complicated for dimwits like me; or b) so obviously easy that people who know the answer assume everyone else knows it, too (because, ya know, the answer is so obvious.....)
Soooo..... I'm asking the three people that actually read this blog:
How do I get an rss "feeder," like the really simple BEER syndication at Beerinator.com, to pick up my blog?
I know how to subscribe to an rss feed. But for the life of me, I canNOT figure out how to do the opposite: get a feed to find my blog.
Anyone willing to explain it to me? Stan? Hunter? Jeff ? (well, okay, Jeff is probably still in Denver, picking confetti out of his hair....)
Update after original entry: Holy cow -- the troops have rallied to the cause. Gentlemen, thank you!
(Going away now to smack self up the side of the head, after which I will repeat one hundred times: "Sometimes the obvious IS the answer...")

I'd just hit their contact form and request being added: http://www.beerinator.com/modules.php?name=efeedback
(Apparently my blog isn't on their either!)

I can't be 100% certain, but I think I got on there by filling out that contact form and requesting to be added. Hope that helps.

I know how, I know how!
Use that contact form, or the one on beermapping.com and let me know. It doesn't go out and find beer blogs, I have added the ones that people tell me about.
Jon? Did you change urls or something? I could have sworn you were on there.
Adding both now!

I'm confused. Your blog shows up in rsbs.

Thanks, everyone.
Stan, it's there now because these other kind folks pointed out that all I had to do was, ya know, email the beerinator guys and ask to be added.
I got an instant response and voila! now I'm on the feed -- with my REALLY stupid question out there for all the world to see.
As Homer would say: Doh....

Jonathan, thanks again for responding so quickly to my rss request.
I assumed that getting added to the feed involved clicking a mouse or an icon or copying/pasting or whatever.
It just didn't cross my mind that I could ask, gasp, a live human being!
I wonder: Are we all gradually being cyberized? Are we all gonna turn into machines or brains-in-a-vat??

And of course now that I'm listed on a BEER feed, I'll feel guilty every time I post one of my "detours from beer."
